Is it normal if i think i'm an alcoholic?

I know I love drinking so very much and my reasons are the usual ones such as it makes me feel good, I socialize better, and I don't hate everyone like I soberly do :P. I was reading an article and it just explained the usual how social drinking can turn out to be mess where the person is uncontrollably drunk and in addition, they asked a few girls to speak about their experience which felt like I was reading my own mind. They sounded just like me, for example when they described how they couldn't walk into a party without "pre-gaming" and I'm always looking for ways to drink before I go to the party because I know I'll feel less nervous and easier to socialize. Then they explained how their friends would only mention good times when they were drinking cause of how they were crazy drunk and it just reminded me of how the people I usually go crazy with I like very much because we can go crazy drunk all the time, not because we actually each others personality or whatever.
The article then asked a few questions to test the audience if they are on the same road which ya I wasn't surprised I answered yes to all of them including if I worry excessively if there will be alcohol at the party. If there is none, I just worry I'll be bored and I won't make any friends, it'll just be blah. With alcohol, I know I'll have a good time without feeling nervous and my fun side comes out. It also mentions how to be an alcoholic doesn't mean you have to be drinking daily, it could also mean you crave it and want it. And ya that's me. I barely get to drink and party but when I want it, I want it. I ask people to get it for me or even if we're just going out I might want a beer just to feel more chill. This article was so funny to me cause basically it was the cherry on top that I could be lowkey, an alcoholic. I'm a chill person and I understand pple drink to fit in sometimes, but honestly, that's not even why I drink. Im against trends but the main reason I drink is because I FEEL better, less nervous, more chill. I guess I'm socially awkward and when I drink everythings better. Well, sometimes I can get out of control, which I'm gonna try to prevent more.
