I agree with lowering the abv. I really also just need to mentally toughen up about it and do what I know I need to. Then things can go back to a normal 'enjoy a beer or 3 every once in a while'.
On a different note, my brother in law has (to me) a strange drinking habit. Sunday through Thursday he does not drink. But Friday and Saturday he goes HARD. One night before we left their house he drank damn near a fifth of Captain Morgan. We get to the pub and he puts down something like, 8 rum and cokes (stiff) and six 32oz mugs of Miller Lite. My confusion is, how can you drink that much and it not spill over into other days? Does he have that much self control and discipline?
