Not yet and if you continue there most certainly will be either a problem with the Liver, the Law or problems with the Lover.
Normal drinkers who do not abuse alcohol, do not question if they are alcoholic.
Try abstaining from drinking and other substances for 30 days. This will tell you if you have a problem, when you can't abstain and constantly think of alcohol/drugs.
