From what I have seen of friends, and family, I think it's often hard for people to address their problems honestly as soon as labels come into it. So, if you don't want to accept you are an alcoholic (and I don't know anything about the situation), then don't, and maybe just work on drinking less. I am sure you did not come online for a lecture, but driving over the legal limit can be very dangerous, sadly even if you feel like you can handle it. If avoiding the "alcoholic" label helps you recover, that is what you should do! Good luck!

So much this.
