Most people drink socially because they like drinking too, the moment it's not fun anymore is when you have a problem. You seem to be pretty receptive about yourself and honestly at this point you seem okay. Also I may be wrong but I'm assuming your underage since your worried about how you will get alcohol. Obviously risk factors increase if your underage.
If your underage I highly recommend waiting however I know how that goes. Make sure to take care of yourself and moderate yourself. I knew many people I went to school with that drank like crazy and now don't at all. If at any moment it begins to feel like a problem to you then it is and is best to take a break. You won't mess your life up and it won't develop into something bigger if you don't let it.

You already have at least one brain issue. Why would you damage your brain -- which must last you your entire life -- further with alcohol?
ADHD predisposes you to dementia later. So does ETOH (alcohol) consumption. So by adding drinking to the mix, you have just further increased your dementia risk. Not to mention your diabetes and cancer risks.
I find my sleep, health, mood, and life in general greatly improved off the alcohol. My ADHD is better managed too.
Once off the alcohol, you should be able to see clearly how severe the ADHD is. Then you can address it.
Take care.
