I drink a bit more than the so called "recommended amount" but I'm mostly fine. I don't really drink during weekdays (it's been a bit more now during the corona lockdown) except for maybe one beer in the evening. I drink in the weekend and whenever an opportunity arises really. I love it but I am able to stay away from it. I was pretty hard on the booze for a few years but after I met my girlfriend it's evened out. Feels good.

alcohol is extremely physically and mentally addictive. even if you are strong minded as some say, you can't "will" your body to not crave the booze. It gets kinda technical and I'm not an expert but it has to do with the GABA receptors and dopamine in your brain. If you want to cut down and stop feeling like shit you should look up tapering. You could get down to 2-3 beers instead of 12 and not feel like shit every morning. The hangovers and eventual alcohol withdraw is what convinced me to finally stop binge drinking. I drank at a similar rate as you.

I drink about 10-12 beers a day when I had a job, about 20 a day during quarantine.

I feel like I'm drinking less though, because I no longer go to the bars and have hard alcohol or wine/champagne. My head's clearer. But I've also been an alcoholic since about 17 years old.

I quit once a year for 1-3 months but it never sticks. It's impossible to just not drink as a single adult unless you want to sit at home and have no social life.

I was seeing a counselor and she recommended it. My mom is a counselor (for kids) and she recommended it. It has a good reputation so it seemed like a good place. Insurance covered some of it but not nearly enough to make a significant impact. I still payed around 30k for the month. I went to an IOP immediately after that which also offered in patient (I did everything from home with that place tho because I didnt want to spend another month away from my wife.) and the insurance covered almost 100% of that. If you even have the slightest thought that you might need to go to rehab, you 100% need to go to rehab. One of the best decisions I ever made.
