Go, and eat, and eat until you're so piggishly full that the thought of a drink makes you want to barf.
At Day 4, I found food was my biggest weapon to use against my AV. When you're pukingly full, who has room for a drink.
Plus us drinkers are great in substituting booze for meals.
I'll second everything Sparky said... I still eat as early as I can in the evening. Totally helps me with the cravings; that and sweets.
Congratulations on day 4 and making it through the weekend!!
Tomorrow is day 5, hang in there. It does get easier.
