Hi seemedrink

Sounds like you should just go ahead and trying cutting back if that's what you want. A healthy maximum level is usually considered 21-28 units per week (a unit being a small glass of wine, a single shot, half a pint of moderate strength beer). From what you've written above you sound like many of us here - you have difficulty moderating. But it's worth a try if that's what you want. I would just say also be prepared to admit to yourself if you're not like people who can drink moderately (lots of us can't).

Personally I could never keep it at a moderate level for very long. Abstinence was the only solution for me.

Good luck, and God bless +

P.S. Just seen your last post. Life gets easier once you face up to the fact that you are not one of those boring people who can maintain safe moderate drinking. But I would stop now.
