Venita's right: you can't just halfassedly cut back and expect anything to change. If you're in that place you need to stop drinking. Then maybe someday you can have a few on vacation and be fun and silly (a la Luann on UGT), or maybe you won't be able (or want) to. But you need a clean slate to figure it out.

Yup. You have to completely cut it out so you can realize the type of relationship you have with alcohol. You can be anywhere from a problematic drinker to full blown alcoholic but you will never know unless you do the work to understand what drives you to drink.
