Hi and welcome LookingUp

There's all sorts of factors you could consider. This link is a pretty clear description of alcohol abuse versus alcohol dependence:

Alcoholism and Alcohol Abuse: Signs, Symptoms, and Help for Drinking Problems

If you identify with points from either, it might be pause for thought.

this self diagnostic test may help you too:
Michigan Alcohol Screening Test (MAST), Revised

In the end tho, I cut to the chase - does my drinking cause me problems?
if the answer is yes, the next question has to be 'what do I do about that'

you'll find a lot of support here - good to have you with us.
