Alcoholism as described in the book AA is “an inability to control ones drinking” once you start. Consequences don’t make somebody an alcoholic but often inevitably happen to somebody who can’t control their drinking. It tells you how to diagnose yourself “step over to the nearest barroom and try some controlled drinking” e.g. how do you feel when you have a few drinks? Can you walk away and leave it or are you yearning for more and then having a magnetic pull to just drink more and more? If you’re honest with yourself you should be able to determine the answer for your reality based on your past experiences. I know I can/have/did.
