I have thought about the drinking. I think my challenge has to do with drinking in social situations. My experiences with alcohol consisted of going out with friends and getting bombed all night.
So, for now, I plan on not drinking at all at least until this whole situation clears up. Eventually, I want to see if I'm able to have a few drinks in a social setting without it becoming an all-night boos-fest. My ability to do that, or lack thereof, I think, will help me determine if I have a problem or not.
