I don't agree.

Drinking 1-2 cans of coke doesn't make you dependent on coke as an example. You can simply enjoy coke even though you don't need it.

If you feel upset/unhappy (even mildly) any day you can't have your 2 cokes, that's a dependency.

Perhaps, but that's my point with regard to the parents claim that 1-2 per day is definitely alcoholism. It may be for some people. Someone drinks 2 large vodka drinks, they are alcoholic. 1-2 glasses of wine, probably not.
