Did I wean off well enough to withdrawl safely

Im a 35 year old male I've been drinking nightly for years. It got to about 1 pint of vodka a night habit. However I never experience withdrawl symptoms in the 24 hours in between my drinking.

In the last month ive been weaning off with beer, and this last week nightly i had...

Nignt 1: 7 beers
Night 2: 6 beers
Night 3: 6 beers
Night 4: 4 beers
Night 5: 4 beers
Night 6: 3 beers
Night 7: 2 beers

I go about 24 hours in between drinking and my only symptom is being anxious. Does it sound like I probably don't have to worry about dying if I stop without going into a hospital. I know you're not a doctor but anyone who can shed some experience I appreciate it.

Dur no one can answer that question here. Will I be ok is asking for medical advice and medical advice is against our rules.

Even if it wasn't there are many factors to alcohol withdrawal besides volume - your general health, how long you've been drinking regularly, what other meds you might be on - and none of us are Doctors.

If you're concerned or worried over anything see a real Dr, ok?

Anxiety is a common symptom of withdrawal. Mine was always severe. Please get help if you start feeling badly.
