Much different than an Alcoholic. Alcoholists do not have a dependency on alcohol. They merely enjoy drinking large amounts of alcohol to reach that "happy place", which usually means blacking out and trying to figure out what the hell happened last night.

All alcoholists have a a flask full of Jägermeister and red bull to have an instant Jäger bomb.
