I quit cold turkey, and I for sure could and have drank as much as you. My side effects were nausea, headache, blurred vision, and nightmares, foggy mind. I am 8 days sober and everything is gone except the foggy mind and nightmares. BUT everyone is different. I would cut back if I were you. See how you feel. If you can't deal, then I'm sorry, but a Doc would be needed, because you would be sick maybe even deathly. A Doc can not tell anyone your biz. Usually you have to sign a form stating who if anyone can know your medical biz. See if you can get it under control. I tried it many times until I realized I was an alcoholic and 1 drink will always lead to 20 for me. Best wishes to you.
