I would have to say yes, it is a bad habit. I used to be an alcoholic, and while at that point in my life I was drinking from the moment I got out of bed in the morning, to the time I passed out at night, at work, at home, whether I was alone or not, I was never without a drink. And not beer wine coolers, it was usually a form of hard liquor or wine.
Before it escalated to that, I was a casual drinker who drank purely with friends. We weren't into partying, just staying in the house and drinking safely. Once we started drinking, the keys were put up and no one left no matter what.
Things, no matter what they are, can easily escalate, and turn into something you didn't intend them to be. If you're drinking every day, I'd say it's already a problem. You may not think so, but it's definitely the start of something that is not good, and is already destructive. Not only on your finances, but also its keeping you from bettering yourself in other ways. Instead of going drinking, try going to the gym, or taking up a class of some sort, perhaps a study group in a good church. Something that spends your time constructively instead of digging yourself into a hole you don't want to be in.
Either way, whatever you do, just try and pay more attention to your actions and your surroundings, be alert in what you're doing and if there are certain things that you notice you do, that result in you going drinking more, or people that hinder you from NOT drinking, but rather encourage it, try to distance yourself from them. Good luck with everything!
