The bottom line is it really takes zero drugs to quit drinking. "Drinking less alcohol," isn't really the end game.
Before someone jumps on this, yes, some people do need to be medically detoxed from alcohol. I was in the flow and didn't really think about that.
I stand by my statement that drinking less is not the end game. A full quit is. Once past the detox, drugs to lower cravings or to cause illness if you drink? That's another discussion. Not necessary, but may be helpful for some.
