If I drink a pint of Guiness I'll puke. Does that make me an
alcoholic?

Possibly. You certainly show signs of an allergy to alcohol, common to
alcoholics.

Right, that's enough. What is your, concise as possible, definition of
"alcoholic"?

If someone continues to drink even though it makes him sick, I would say
that person may be an alcoholic, even if it is just one drink that makes him
sick.

An alcoholic is a person who continues to drink when common sense says that
he should quit.
