Yeah thats why cutting back, or tapering. or whatever you want to call it, never worked for me Darin.
To be able to do it requires a consistent level of control over my drinking that I just don't have.
Its going to be very very hard for you not to drink for any length of time unless you re-examine your ideas about social life and having fun.
No one needs to go to a bar to have a good time

ps I think 6 beers is actually 'that bad' - when your target is zero thats not a pass.
Why do I say that?
Not to beat you up - but now you've unconsciously set up 6 beers as a sort of forgivable slip, you've moved the goalposts for next time..
