You specifically seek out intoxication.

drinking alone = alcoholic

i cant remember but its something like more than 3 drinks a week or something, idk
i think im an alcoholic, if im stressed or sad i get the craving to drink, i also seek it out if i have plans to do something fun (even at home). drinking makes everything more fun for me.
i also sometimes really just want to taste it.
fuck me... im gonna die...

The whole concept is outdated, skirts the line of an identity and is steeped in moralism. I believe the modern term is to be suffering from alcohol use disorder. Check your govts or medical authority for the criteria and see if you fit. Seek professional confirmation and guidance. Trust the government.

If you drink enough to ask yourself this, you might start to have a problem, if you start making excuses and look for technicalities like >>80062812 then you definitely have a problem.
This applies to most things that are fun , go figure.

Do you depend on alcohol to get you through the day? Would abstaining from alcohol for a week be a challenge for you? Four days? One day?

Negative consequencss

I'd say the definition of alcoholism starts when it begins taking things from you. Small things at first, then more and more. It will keep going until the final piece of you it can acquire is your life.
