PC,
I have no control over tapering down; I guess I just hope it happens. I typically buy 3 six packs but may only drink about 8 or 9 beers. Sometimes I get lucky and it's only 5 or 6 and I'm barely hungover. But lately, the count is more like 16-18 and it's hard to quit the next day.
I'm a real "counter". I keep track of how many I still have left in the fridge. And I have all these "rules" about drinking that have evolved over time. I need at least 18 on hand before I will start drinking. I must have at least 6 left before I watch a movie. I won't drink it if gets warm and will either put it in the freezer for rehabilitation or abandon it altogether.
I drank about 12 last night but must make a stand today. This is my favorite time of year and I've been too sick to enjoy it.
