my suggestion for actual diagnosis contact your or a treatment provider in your off the computer location. they will be able to tell you the differences between alcohol related dissociative like symptoms (other wise called residual affects, side effects from drinking) and actual dissociative disorders.
If this happens at other times and in other circumstances, where you don't remember anything, it could be an alter who drinks heavily. But if drinking is the only instance of the amnesia, no it's not an alter.
