You'll be back at it tonight or tomorrow night. I used to average going out and getting hammered 4 nights a week in my 20s. When you start passing out or having regular blackouts you'll know you've made it. Puking your guts out at work the next morning is also a milestone.
Luckily I haven't gotten black out drunk for over a decade.
I got sick and tired of feeling sick and tired. And often lamented that I wished I had all the money I had spent in bars. Quitting the booze was easy for me, quitting diet cokes later in life was harder.
