I think if we're switching up the types of drink or our patterns of drinking in order to facilitate our drinking and be able to feel better our justify or control over alcohol then we're on very slippery ground!!

For a long time I used to change types, no spirits, no wine, only beer, only wine on weekends, only spirits on special occasions, no drinking during the week, only on weekends, have 2 alcohol free days a week, have 1 alcohol free day a week, the goalposts were ever changing and the issue with drinking still remained the same.

I guess it all comes back to what is said to many newcomers, it's not about volume, it's about our behaviours when it comes to alcohol, and people without a problem don't have these behaviours!!
