Am I an alcoholic?

I"m 28, only work 3 days a week (make 52k/year in IT), and I have a bit of a comfy inheritance from my parents which takes away a lot of financial stress.

I was never a big drinking, but when I did drink I would get FUCKED up. Probably something I learned to do in college.

Recently though, I've stopped going to bars/clubs with people, because it's the same shit over and over again and I've gotten so bored of it all.

However, what I've found that I really enjoy is drinking by myself. I'll usually do this 2 times a week.

Over about 6-7 hours, I drink about 750 ml of good vodka, mixed with healthy mixers. I also drink plenty of coconut water to stay hydrated in an attempt to control the hang over the next morning. I've found smoking weed and eating a pot brownie before I pass out REALLY helps the hang over, which I suspect has to do with THC/CBD's anti-inflammatory properties.

When I'm drinking by myself, I have the best time. I listen to music, dance by myself in the dark, watch good movies (where I'll cry or laugh so hard, I just feel much more emotional watching movies when I'm drunk), or I'll read a book (before I get too drunk to read), and roll around and behave like a child/free spirit while smoking cigarettes inside. I don't smoke normally, but when I drink I love it.

Is this horrible for my health? I don't feel that bad the next day even though I get super hammered (like rolling on the floor drunk).

I eat a pretty healthy diet normally, low carb, organic fruits/veggies, high quality proteins and fish, and I take a lot of supplements like tumeric, cayenne, CBD, etc.

Anyone have experience with this? I've been doing this for a couple of weeks now and it sort of feels... ok.

I don't drink everyday or even every other day because I don't get that "energetic rush" if I drink multiple days in a row, so it feels pointless to me.

TL;DR I love getting super drunk by myself and dancing with headphones on until dawn. Is this unhealthy?
