Question

IS this sentence a fallacy? If so what type?

If you start out with a bottle of beer a day and then go to a glass or two of wine in the weekends, you're well on your way to becoming a hopeless drunk.

Answer 1

The last phrase uses a loaded word.

Does the last clause necessarily follow from the first clause?

Which fallacy do you think this is?

Answer 2

I think it may be either Hasty generalization or Post Hoc, but I'm not sure.

Answer 3

I think it's an example of hasty generalization.

Answer 4

The sentence you provided does not appear to be a fallacy. Fallacies are errors in reasoning or logic that undermine the validity of an argument. However, the sentence you provided seems to convey a subjective opinion or a warning rather than an argument. It suggests a potential trajectory from moderate alcohol consumption to potentially problematic drinking habits. It does not present any logical fallacies such as circular reasoning, false cause, or ad hominem attacks.
