How long can I stay off the sauce?

The key, for me at least, is not trying to not drink at all, but to have only one or two. I had a glass of wine with dinner on Sunday. I really wanted another but held the line. I find that 'just one more' can devolve into a binge and then feeling like crap the next day.

Having a drink or two and then forcing myself to eat is the best way I've found to stop myself from binge drinking.

I can see how that could work. If I'm having wine or beer with dinner I try to pace the drinking to end with the meal. I also find having coffee at the end of the meal caps it off and makes it much less likely to keep drinking.
