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

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

Notice the "If." IF I jump off a bridge, I'll die. That is fact. Saying
so doesn't make me suicidal.

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

Well, I admit to being a caffeine addict.
