 Yes. It's a slippery slope to alcoholic, and the problem will only get worse, not to mention binge drinking is INCREDIBLY dangerous. People do die from it and you can permanently damage your liver. Not to mention if you do dangerous things while drunk, like driving, doing dangerous stunts, or having unprotected sex. Plus you put yourself in a dangerous situation to be sexually assaulted. I can't tell you how many girls at my school messed up their entire lives by binge drinking too much. No good comes from drinking a lot. Ever. Since after one drink you continue to drink, it's probably easiest just to avoid situations where there is a lot of alcohol present. Also, no one wants to be around the falling down drunk girl, walking her home and such, holding her head. That girl gets old really fast. Do your body a favor and just stop.

 Yes. Quit drinking altogether. I wish my friend had done so at your age. She's dead now, died young at 46 due to her drinking. She would drink until she blacked out too.
Some people just cannot have a healthy relationship with alcohol; you sound like one of them.
And I think you probably should tell your parents so you can get some proper help now. It may be difficult for you to control this, as the first drink will remove inhibitions against having the next one. You should not even have the first one and may find it difficult to stop.
Get help. It'll make the next 30 years of your life a whole lot more fun and more enjoyable. Trust me.

Today, for example, you may be completely against driving after having a sip of alcohol, but within the next 10 years, the drinking can change the way you think or care altogether, and you might drink and drive, either killing yourself or someone else, or even more commonly, lose your licence and have to pay a huge fine and go to constant classes for a long time to get your license back. If you stop drinking now, while you still really care about yourself, you'll have all the ability to quit. You've noticed already, from the time you started drinking, just how much more you need now, to satisfy yourself... now compare today to five years from now, and try to imagine how much worse off you'll be if you continue any longer. It will get worse by the day.. You can repair alot of the damage that's been done by quitting today and introducing only water and good foods to your body. Then one day you can look around at all the health problems and life problems the people you used to drink with have, and thank yourself for not having to live the aftermath they'll be going through in the future.

In a word. Yes.
You are placing yourself in a huge amount of danger.
