Consequences of Alcohol Abuse: What Defines an Alcoholic?

Question by Harry: What defines an alcoholic?
Honestly I don’t know. I’ve only been wasted and passed out twice in my life but for the past week I’ve been drinking every night (vodka and rum if that’s important) till I get tipsy and start doing things that I regret in the morning. But I feel that I have to drink to mask the events in my life and it’s the only time that I actually enjoy my life. I’m not sure if I’m alcohol dependant but I don’t really know anything right now. I do remember all the things I do so it’s not extreme but I really do make stupid decisions and text the wrong things. All day today I’ve been thinking about drinking tonight just so that I can forget the things I did last night and I know it feels bad and I do believe that I may be starting to have a problem so now I don’t even know if this is a question.
But if you do think I drink too much what are your tips?

Please no smart comments or anything
