Your physical withdrawal will be nothing much. Your psychological withdrawal will have you drinking mouthwash.

Yup. I'm also going to assume (hopefully) that your friends also drink like you do. So, having them around isn't going to make things easier. Good luck, though.

You'll probably be fine, but it sure wouldn't hurt you to taper yourself off over a period of a few weeks rather than quitting cold turkey.

This is what I have decided to do. After reading a little more about it, cold turkey can lead to bad binge drinking relapses. So I think what I will do is cut down to only a few nights a week and ONLY buy what I will allow myself to drink. That means buying a 6 pack and having no more alcohol at the house. I am very careful about driving after drinking, so that will hopefully prevent me from going out and getting more. Also, I will try to avoid bars, even though I usually don't drink too much at bars.

I'm not trying to stop drinking altogether, I just want to get myself down to maybe two or three nights a week, and a 6 pack at most.
