We can do math all day long to track spending and number (and oz) of drinks. It's all really beside the point if drinking is a problem.
In AA, we ask ourselves if we are powerless over alcohol, and if our lives have become unmanageable. If yes, we accept step one and begin recovery.
In non-AA terms, here's the version of step one: is drinking causing problems in your life? Emotional, financial, sleep, health, weight, friendships, work - anything? Are you handling your life like you would like and feeling satisfied with how it's going on the whole? Extend this train of thought with other variations on these same questions.
If you answer honestly - and based on what you've shared, I can tell you what the honest answers would be- then you will have in front of you exactly what you need to do. And it's not counting drinks, or dollars; it's quitting or not quitting.
Lots of us, if not all, split so many hairs we probably had none left trying to wrangle our way to justifications for our drinking.
Ultimately, we accepted that there just weren't any legitimate ones. Some of us accepted it before we lost "everything" - some of us had to lose pretty much everything but our lives.
I hope you make the right choice. Good luck.
