Hi Mr Spirit
I tried that - drank too much beer so I drank wine cos I hated wine ...ended up drinking too much wine so I went to spirits cos I hated spirits...drank too much of that too.
I also tried drinking low alcohol beer, waiting until a certain time to start drinking, alternating with water and only drinking at home, or only when in company.
All things I failed at, because alcohol, any alcohol, changes me and sooner or later I'll be drinking the spilt dregs out of an ashtray..
The only thing that worked for me was not drinking anymore, man.
