you sound like someone who does not have an "off switch" for alcohol. imo, one cannot be installed.
whoever answered your call at the counseling service is a bonehead. they would like you to wait for your problem to worsen and call back then?, "um...how bout let's wait until you drop out of school or you lose your job, then give us a holler?". Alcoholism is a progressive disease. 5 years from now you will be drinking more, and more.
8 drinks IS a lot, especially when mixed with prescriptions drugs. imo, you are a person who can't live a life which includes moderate drinking. it's all or nothing. are there alcoholics/addicts in your family?
I'm guessing you are youngish. I would suggest that you consider checking out a Young Person's AA meeting. Bmail with questions/concerns or to tell me to shut up. :-)
