Maybe alcoholism is not the technically correct word, but I do know what Homer means. I have at least one friend that would not crave alcohol on a daily basis, but "a good night out" doesn't count unless it involves drinking to the point of memory blackouts (which conveniently tend to start from the point when the anti-social behaviour kicks in - a particular Simpson's episode springs to mind). Despite this behaviour leading to serious enough trouble at work, within the social circle and family, and despite acknowledging the health implications, it continues unabated.

Possibly it is a level of dependence which only kicks in in certain situations?
