If you THINK you have a problem, you probably do. PLEASE try AA. They certainly helped ME after a 20 year drinking career! I got drunk to the point of passing out & having blackouts every single night -- and finally went to AA. They welcomed me with open arms and walked the walk with me. They gave me a "call list" so that if I had a hard time on non-meeting nights, I could call anyone on the list for help. They helped me understand the "Big Book" of AA -- which is like the Bible of AA -- we're not religious but we're spiritual. You can believe in any Higher Power you want just as long as you believe that there is "something" more powerful than yourself. 
I NEVER thought that I could quit drinking -- but that first meeting was my first day sober -- and that was July 29th, 1993 -- and i haven't had a drink since. That was almost 19 years ago. Was it easy? No but it was SIMPLE.  There's a difference.
PLEASE call AA --- drinking KILLS. I've been to too many funerals of AA members who went back out for 'further investigation.'  Please don't die. God bless & take care. Hugs, Lee
