Default What constitutes a drinking problem?

I get drunk maybe once a month, once every six weeks. Rare is the time that I'll even drink to the point where there's a chance I'm unsafe to drive (Walking distance to my bar, let's get that sorted straightaway). Yet I do enjoy beer a tremendous amount. There's probably only one or two days a week that I don't have at least one, be it with dinner or whatever. It's also rare I'd ever have more than three in a night.

So I'm occasionally curious as to whether or not this constitutes a drinking problem. I know if I cut back, I'd have more money, I'd be in better shape. Maybe I would enjoy life more.

But is it reasonable to say that I just enjoy beer, that this isn't a real issue, and that overanalyzing is perhaps a bigger compulsive disorder than booze?

How much do you usually drink, and do you think that amount has any negative consequences to your life? (Setting aside that anything that is enjoyable probably does something to diminish life expectancy; fun costs you)
