I drink 8-10 pints a night 3-4 times a week do I have a problem? I often drink to wind down after work as an asylum decision maker

As the title here says, I on average drink 8-10 pints an evening at least 3-4 times a week. I’m a 30 year old married male and I really hate my job working as a civil servant.

Since we got married my alcohol consumption has slowly creeped up.. I am making this post now after 9 pints of 5% abv beer and I feel relatively fine. A little tipsy but nothing out of the ordinary.

I guess it concerns me a little because I drink 9 pints then wake up in the morning feeling absolutely fine.

I am an asylum decision maker for the government… I often find it really hard to wind down after a day at work and especially in summer most evenings I have at least 2-3 pints and 3-4 times a week it’s a good 8-9 pints. Especially on days which I have particularly difficult asylum interviews. Particularly yesterday when I had a woman crying for over 2 hours explaining in detail how her baby was crucified to a door in Sudan by militias it really can be hard and often after work a good few beers is the easiest way to wind down!

How does this compare to most average brits? Do you think I have a problem? My wife constantly tells me that my alcohol consumption is normal for most brits but sometimes it really does concern me!
