  I know people who have a glass of wine or a couple of beers every single day. Some claim it’s just part of their routine, while others insist daily drinking is a warning sign. I’m unsure what to think, especially since cultural norms play a big role. Is there a universal way to judge if it’s becoming problematic?

  The line between casual daily drinking and dependency can be subtle, which is why having a framework helps. A good explanation of how alcohol use progresses is here: https://unitedrecoveryproject.com/rehab-blog/the-4-stages-of-alcoholism/ . It details how routine consumption can eventually lead to dependency, even if it starts innocently. Drinking daily doesn’t always mean someone has a problem, but it can increase the risk if they rely on alcohol for stress relief or emotional balance. What matters most is whether it interferes with responsibilities, health, or relationships. If alcohol becomes a crutch instead of a choice, it’s a warning sign. Using the stages as a reference point makes it easier to determine whether someone is just enjoying a routine or entering a riskier pattern that needs attention.
