No.   If someone uses it purely to get drunk that is a problem.  

There are other levels, like just having one beer to unwind/cool off.   Maybe one glass of wine with dinner, or a drink after work with a friend.      Aiming for "drunk" or even "very buzzed" means self-medication and that's why they question it.

But regardless if you alter your mood that’s considered a marker of alcoholism. I don’t know a single person who doesn’t use alcohol this way. To take the edge off. To ease the social wheels etc 

It’s a silly marker
