High-functioning alky, here
6-10 9%+ cans of beer in an evening not a problem for me, day after day. On my days off I can start with the cans for breakfast. I 'preload' for social occasions, and time my 'sobriety' to be ok to drive.
Breaking the habit?
Have the will to stop. That's both hard and easy. But you didn't ask the question because you don't want to carry on so there's a plus.
I drink as much regular milk as I can when I feel the urges: this is because whacking down beer after it just feels sloshy in the stomach: not unpleasant, just 'sloshy'.
And pointless..it takes too long to get drunk.
So, I've pretty much banished the beer of late.
To keep away the demons - when I absolutely feel a binge coming on, I keep a mouthful of liquorice 26% alc in my mouth for as long as possible (as well as having had the milk).
Happy to say I've not been fucked up for well over two months now, and have done several stretches of 5-8-10 and a 14 days with zero alcohol in the last three months.
That's a success, as I've been pretty much drunk for the last 8 years.
And, I didn't stop to buy a crate of beer today - there's none in the house, either.
