Well, I guess the question is why you drink to the point you're out of control... because on the outside the simple answer would be don't drink enough to get drunk. If you find it difficult to restrict your drinking, then it's a problem (though not necessarily alcoholism in my opinion).
It sounds as if it's been a few months with a lot of changes - hopefully a lot of them positive, but still a lot to adjust to. Talking with your girlfriend and other friends would be a good start, but if you still struggle to control your drinking and anger then perhaps seeing a counsellor would help.
I hope you work it out with your girlfriend and you can put this behind you.
