yes
I'd say if it's getting in the way of living your life the way you would without it, then yes, you're an alcoholic and should find a way to get it under control. Maybe you're someone who can sometimes have a drink if you regain the resolve to keep it under control. but hiding bottles, taking it out on kids? time to get it back under control. sometimes a bad phase can lead to overdrinking, if you will that isn't really alcoholism like in the movies. Doesn't mean you don't have to kick it into gear and get it back under control. It's making you be cranky towards your kids. Really time to get in control. And that's just what you're aware of, I bet they can tell when you've had a few and you're getting cranky or loopy. YOu know how the rest of the world can tell we're drunk before we can.
