Welcome carrie999, drinking 3-6 times a week and 3-4 drinks per session may be a good reason to stop, if not control your drinking now rather than later. The fact that you came here and posed this question (am I an alcoholic) should be enough for you to start making some positive changes in your life. The worst side effect for you may be having a clearer mind and saving money!
Another book I suggest is Allen Carr's Easy Way to Control Drinking. I am still reading it and it's really got common sense information to quit drinking. He also has a book for quit smoking. Both books highly rated.
