Is it normal that i am craving beer?

Basically, I'm an 18 year old male from the UK (drinking age = 18), and I have an anxiety problem. I'm not depressed and suicidal or anything like that, but I overthink things so I maybe need some reassurance here.

I really really want a beer right now. I don't NEED a beer, but I really fancy one and I like to have a drink. It doesn't disrupt my life (I haven't missed a day off of work or uni because of it).

But all I want to know is, is it normal to really really want a beer? I probably sound a bit stupid..

    Is it normal to breathe? Does the earth revolve around the sun? Is the sky blue? Do catholic priests molest children?

    one way to know if you're an alcoholic is after you've had one beer, are you ok with that or do you really need to keep drinking? try having one beer with your meal at a restaurant or wherever and see.

    Nope. I don't think it's normal for any young adult to crave any kind of alcohol. Are you from an alcoholic family?
