Does anyone else feel like they're about to become an alcoholic? I've been drinking somewhat heavily for more than a year now (2-5 times a week) and I want to stop. Unfortunately, getting drunk is the only thing I look forward to nowadays. I'm not physically addicted but I feel like boozing is the only thing that keeps me from depression. I should be happy, I have a loving family, a gf and I'm almost done with my (very useful) degree. Getting drunk is the only thing that makes me happy though, except from music. I'm no longer interested in vidya, movies, etc, it's just a way to pass the time.
I honestly don't know what to do. Should I stop completely? Should I reduce my alcohol consumption? Should I look for some other vice to keep me sane?
I've had two bottles of wine as I'm writing this and I'm going to open up the vodka bottle in a few minutes.

Drinking always progresses the 'addiction.' You can counter this by refusing to engage in more than occasional and/or light drinking, and by gaining some sort of aversion (examples of aversion: nausea reaction, disliking being intoxicated, having friends who judge it poorly).
If you play powerless, then all I have to say is good luck. Take control of yourself and your life.

It sounds like you are dependent at this point. You might want to rehab for a week or so. If you resume using after rehab, then you might want an addictions counselor.
At this point your liver is suffering so much... You have a family dude, think about them. My friends mother died at 35 due to liver failure, she was in bed for 2-3 years... Darnk 0,5l of vodka daily... it seems you will soon see how alcohol will affect your health... You should at least drink lighter alcohol like bear, or stronger but drink less, anyway try to consume less
