Hello Forward! I agree with Leana, this is some very confusing advice. I can only speak from my own expierience, but I discovered not drinking to be so much easier than trying to moderate. And I've tried everything: I told myself, I would only drink when I have company, or only with my partner, or only on special occasions etc, but it never worked. I wish you all the best!
EDIT: I've just read you got rid of that beer. Well done!
