I would have to say yes. Having lived with an alcoholic I know some of the symptoms. Drinking that much every evening is a pretty good sign of addiction. Can you stop, for at least a week, and not be miserable about it, long for it, and not have mood swings? If you can, and be honest with yourself, then maybe you are not.

I'd say you are. It's not normal or healthy to drink that much. Alcoholics tend to surround themselves with other drinkers and they lose perspective as to what is a lot to drink. After working 9-10 hours, most people are able to sleep just fine without alcohol because they're tired. Also be aware that drinking before going to sleep can interfere with the quality of your sleep and cause you to not rest as fully as you need to.

I'd say yes. 4-5 is cans every night is way too much, especially if you do it every day and can't unwind without it.
Try running or working out for couple weeks instead, and see if you can do without the beer. If you can, then you're not physically addicted. If you can't, then don't be too proud to seek help.

what makes you an alcoholic is if you can't stop drinking, or if your life revolves around it...if you can stop drinking whenever you want, then you are not an alcoholic

That's about three to many. And you shouldn't be doing it everyday.
