Welcome to SR!
I'm not sure that drinking 85-100 drinks per week can be categorized as "reasonable behavior" no matter how you slice it. As far as how to motivate yourself to quit, I know for me there was nothing that really motivated me to do anything but drink (example: when deeply concerned about my health because of my drinking the way I consoled myself was by drinking).
I know that there are a ton of people out there just like you: they are not the stereotypical, living under a bridge alcoholics that we all picture in our heads but something is bound to give eventually. Alcohol at that level will either lead to death, misery or both, regardless of how little the impact seems now.
