Weekends were similar for me as well, namely because they marked a "safe" time to drink even if I went to the bar with friends first. I've found I was able to counteract it by having planned engagements on Saturday morning (Tennis matches, study sessions, running in the morning) that would preclude a night of heavy drinking the night before. It's amazing to me how powerful an anti-alcohol motivator exercise can be once you make it the new habit in your life.
I'm still new to it. I haven't abused alcohol in over a month and I've been without a drink all week. I feel great.
