I can tell you that my drinking stats lined up with yours on the beers. Always bought twelve packs and I was lucky if there were three lefty at the end of the night. Weekend's were obviously worse since I could start earlier. I went to a very reputable hospital and they felt I needed to detox at the hospital. I was given meds to come of all the alcohol slowly. Just want to tell you what I was asked to do once telling them my amount of alcohol consumed. Also, i can say it eliminated all withdrawal side effects for me. The only thing I had to deal with was the emotional side of being sober, which is handful in and of itself! Good luck with whatever your decision!
