Kc, some form of controlled drinking is usually the first line of attack for someone who suspects they may have a problem. What you are proposing is endorsed by most alcohol and drug services as well a s AA. Drinking only on weekends is a reasonable goal, though the amount consumed should be taken into consideration also. I know real alcoholics who only drank rarely, just a few times each year, but what happened when they drank was the concern.
On this site, the majority have probably tried some form of your plan many times and failed many times. That's how we learnt our lesson. The same will go for you. Your plan will either work and you will get to enjoy a full and normal life as moderate drinker, or it will fail and you will have learnt the true nature of your problem. Even if it fails, you will still have the possibility of enjoying a full and normal life, just as a sober alcoholic is all.
