Yes.

(I made 100 different cocktails in a year as my COVID lockdown hobby - yay, alcohol culture!)

Assuming one of each cocktail and no other drinks, that's one drink every 3.65 days.

Definitely not problematic. Unless you think two drinks a week really affected your life negatively, but I'd be surprised if you thought that.

I mean tongue was firmly in-cheek on that comment, I'm not seriously saying my cocktail hobby was "problem drinking".
