Does drinking alcohol alot effect ur periods???

Im not an alcoholic or at least i dont think i am! but i do drink alcohol around 4 times a week, can this effect ur periods?? IV been late, then today i seen some tiny amount of blood, but nothing that normally would account as a period? its a tiny amount of blood. Its been 43 days since my last period and im normally between 24-33 days! Is this due to the alcohol or stress or both? What should i do?? Am i an alcoholic?? I drink vodka around 4-5 days a week and probably go through half a bottle at a time. Is this the cause of my late periods and am i an alcoholic??

Please dont judge me, im really finding it hard to cope at home, and please be assured that my children are fed, warm, clean and are in bed before i start to drink. they want for nothing, i give them all the love in the world.

Yes. Effects of heavy alcohol use include missed menstrual periods in women, but keep in mind there's also a lot of other reasons for a missed period. Stress being a huge one.
