Welcome Weekendwaster,
I saw a 3 part doco on binge drinking in Britain, very revealing about the alcohol industry all together.
Yes, you do have a problem, I was thinking that it seems that the anxiety and depression may be tied to the alcoholism I know that it is my case.
I will be 5 months sober tomorrow and it hasn't been easy but I feel so much better. I can't begin to tell you the positives in all aspects of my life. But I do need support, my support is this website and AA.
It is fantastic that you have seen the problem earliy on and want to do something about, now comes the hard part but along the way you will be rewarded, subltle rewards but if you hang in there you will be so thankful for the change.
All the best
