Have you ever read about Real Event OCD or Responsibility OCD? I don’t want to project but I am guessing this OCD feels very real to you- because it’s good to be aware and not make reckless decisions while drinking. Try not to let it bother you too much. I know that’s easier said than done.

Same! Especially because my friends joke about me being an alcoholic (they’re all underage except for me) and it runs in my family. Just keep an eye on yourself if you have any risk factors.

Lots of people love alcohol and aren’t alcoholics. In fact: most.

Hey, I developed the same concern in December. It still feels pretty real to me, so I'm not sure what advice to give. But you're not alone

There's no need to feel guilty but you can't help it, you could always ask to stay at the persons house or organize a lift home. There's no problem with drinking alone, that's just how some of us are. But keep in mind it is good to drink with another person. This feeling will pass, you just have to keep in mind that this is your OCD and I know it's hard not to do compulsions, I know because I have it myself

If you like drinking you’re not necessarily an alcoholic. You’re an alcoholic if you use it to unhealthy degrees (e.g. drinking to the point blacking out or throwing up on a regular basis) or in unhealthy ways (e.g. to deal with emotions or do thing you wouldn’t/couldn’t sober.)

I'm obsessing hard over whether I drink too much right now. Last night I did get a little drunk, and was considering having a couple drinks tonight, but now I'm extremely anxious that I am or am becoming an alcoholic. I can't lie, I enjoy the feeling of being tipsy or a little drunk, but once I worry if I'm an alcoholic it's all I can think about. I always google and take those "am I an alcoholic" quizzes and today i got a result that i could have a mild alcohol use disorder. I know internet quizzes aren't a real diagnosis, but it was based off of the DSM5. But a lot of those questions I can't tell if I answer that way because I truly am alcohol dependent or if it's because I'm an obsessive worrier so that's why it's weighing on me. I know the simple answer is to just not drink! But I enjoy it a lot. And if I try to ignore my worries and just have a drink I think to myself "oh my god, you are an alcoholic, you're drinking even though you don't think you should be." ugh!

It sounds like OCD, especially using the quiz for reassurance.
