I think the consensus here is that tapering is a crap shoot so don't try it.

The majority of people here are going to say, see a doctor on Monday and quit immediately, and that withdrawal from a handle of vodka every 3-4 days is dangerous/life threatening.

I mentioned tapering because it worked for me and you had said you wanted to quit on a certain date, but most of the posts I see here say people cannot taper once they've become addicted, so do your research and be careful either way. It is always better to quit now, not in ten days. You may have serious consequences from your drinking in the next ten days. We just don't have any guarantees.
