In all my experience with this, which is extensive, two things come to mind: 1. If you are asking yourself if you have an alcohol problem, chances are, you do. 2. The truest way to determine if you have a problem is to ask yourself, What have the negative consequences been? The negative can outweigh the positive for a long time before the pain of staying the same leads us to change. I stopped drinking years ago--I hate to vomit, and I hate hangovers. My wife continued until it nearly killed her. Led to rehab in '02. All are well now. Believe it or not, it's a spiritual journey you're on.
