I think it's always good to question our relationship with alcohol. I don't care what you call yourself, labels aren't that useful. The issue to me, is alcohol causing you problems in life, even if it's just not feeling good about yourself.


I second the idea, to talk to an addictions counsellor if you can. They can help you decide what a healthier relationship with alcohol might look like for you. For example if you always binge when you drink, you might decide that total abstinence is your best option. Or you might decide you want to drink occassionally, but limit it so you don't get drunk - I have a cousin who approaches it that way.


I think it's great that you are thinking about this, and that you're asking questions.
