Hi Archie
I wasn't a daily drinker either. I tried moderating with just drinking wine(I don't like beer) even sometimes brought low alcohol or even those mini bottles. But it didn't work for me, sooner or later I would go on a massive bender and when I was like that I would drink anything until I blacked out. That was the trouble, when I drank I never knew how I would be. I could stop after 2 some nights but then sometimes I couldn't and the more I tried to moderate the worse the drinking got.
Maybe you will be more successful with moderation than I was.
