I think you have good insight and have a chance to avoid active alcoholism (due to possible genetics).
The term "crave" has helped to understand what might be going on for you.
Quit while you can, if you can. If not, I think the craving will bother you even more?
I understand your concerns, as I have many family members living with alcoholism. I do not want to become alcoholic either.
Let's not become active alcoholics.
