Asked by Tara

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.

The last phrase uses a loaded word.

Does the last clause necessarily follow from the first clause?

Which fallacy do you think this is?

Answered by Tara
I think it may be either Hasty generalization or Post Hoc, but I'm not sure.
Answered by Ms. Sue
I think it's an example of hasty generalization.
