I don't know how much one needs to get drunk, but if someone drinks 3/4 beers everyday, could that be considered an alcoholic already?

This is what Google says "For women, it's having more than three drinks a day or seven a week. For men, it's four or more per day or 14 a week."

alcoholism is a weird disease and i think the amount isn't the only thing that makes u an alcoholic but maybe mainly the attitude towards alcohol and how you would do without it. sounds like one of the symptoms of alcoholism though.

depends on bmi, gender etc. But concerning if one feels like need drinking everyday? Atleast this was only with me these times which i recently stopped because of major life change which were/is stressful.

Maybe not alcoholic, but high risk perhaps? 3-4 beer a day over time can add up to more beer or higher percent drinks over time. It's bad for the health anyway.

yeah why not, you are more likely to become an alcoholic if you consume alcohol every day than if you never do it obviously
it's much about habit, if it's like ah yes i drink every day and now i have to drink every day or i push the limit for what i think is acceptable further and further like it used to be 1 but now it's 4.. well

Alcoholism isn't just about how much you drink, it's about being dependent/addicted on/to it.
Do you have withdrawals if you don't drink? Both physical and psychological withdrawals are a huge red flag when it comes to whether or not someone's an alcoholic.

Is it affecting your day-to-day life, relationships, etc? Do you feel like you can't go a day without drinking? Do you turn to alcohol whenever you're sad, mad, depressed, bored, happy? Do you crave alcohol?

There's a lot to it.
