It becomes a problem if you are drinking so you do not have to face the world or to drown out/conceal, any issues you have.
Drinking alone can quickly make one maudlin (self-pityingly or tearfully sentimental) leading to low self esteem.
Your statement, ......with the intention of getting drunk. suggests to me you are unhappy and alcohol can temporarily bring you a little cheer.
You do say you probably have a problem so at least you are acknowledging that much.
Ask yourself, "Why do I need to drink"?
"Is there something else I can do to raise my mood other than drinking"?
Alcoholism creeps up on a person and all of a sudden you realise that you are dependent on the drink.

@Citrusflavour Yes. I get thats how you see it.. And that means the Alcohol has already hijacked the pleasure centres of your brain and you need it to feel "normal" as in without the pressure. Its the same as nicotine addicts need a hit to feel normal when they smoke. Like I said. It sounds like you havent hit bottom yet.So you wont listen. My only hope is having heard these words you may be able to hit bottom and not have to bounce too many times before you seek real help. You will need it..

I’m glad you are hesitating. I hope you find inner compassion and acceptance of your own human frailty and be able to acknowledge, no one is perfect and it’s okay.
