Welcome!
At a SMART meeting this week I said that I would drink a bottle and blackout at the end of my drinking. Others in the room assumed I meant a bottle of spirits but in fact it was only one bottle of 14% wine (probably didn't help that I would drink it in about 30 mins). Folk at that meeting drunk way more than that in their drinking careers and there were two 25 year olds at the meeting who shared that they had taken heroin for the first time ever that week and were now really scared. Should I compare myself to them?
The point is there is no benefit to comparing yourself to anyone else in terms of how 'bad' you are. If you have decided it's a problem for you then it is, even if you drink half a pint of lager and lemonade every two weeks.
Wishing you well.
