Sounds kinda Cheesy but, "Only you can decide if you are an alchy". Sounds as if you are highly functional in most areas of your life... General Grant comes to mind; he seemed to drink mainly out of boredom and went on to become president. If you want to stop, try filling that drinking time with something else that gets you off. I know my pattern is to drink increasingly during times of stress to the point that I self destruct. Ergo I don't drink. I've found that exercise, especially buying a high end road bike and making it an every other day habit, has become an excellent substitute for time spent in a bar or just drinking alone and numbing myself. I look forward to the natural endorphin high and meeting other cyclists (bs ing about bike technology etc). What ever work for you... Best of luck...
