If he's drinking 9-12 16oz on the weekdays and has a job, I bet he's easily drinking 20+ on weekends

I drink 3 of the 25 ounce cans of Budweiser & Clamato Picante every weekday after work. Usually 4 of them on Friday night. I probably average 6 a day on Saturday and Sunday.

Good Job Wal Marks! Sobriety is highly over rated. Keep up the good work.

Any good at beer pong?

The real question is do you NEED a beer in the afternoon? If you can go through a whole day (and night) without one, then a week isnt a problem. I would try to start on a weekend if I were you. Go Friday without a beer. When you wake up Saturday morning, if you NEED a beer you are able to do so. If you are at work you cant do that.

Dont go to AA, because you already dont want to go. Beat this on your own.

Pussy, you want a real addiction? Start doing crack or meth maybe both at once. You wish you would have stuck to your goat piss. Oh and nobody likes a quitter

Quitting cold turkey is the way to go. Tapering doesn't work for shite unless you're extremely disciplined. Take it from a pro, tried many times. You're going to go through three days of hell but no DTS on that amount. Get ready for some paranoia, hearing weird things and generally not having your Edge. Also your anxiety will go through the roof and you'll probably wear out your carpet if you have any.

You don't have the shakes in the morning because it's still in your system. Hit the 24 hour mark without any and get ready to buckle down. 3 days is all you need, you can do it bro. Your phone will be your best friend for the next few days cuz you ain't doing any sleeping. Read some posts on sober recovery.com and you will realize your daily consumption is mere Child's Play. Not to diminish it but you have a good shot if you're serious and put in the hard time. Otherwise the odds are heavily stacked against you down the road. Good luck

BTW try to get your hands on some Gabapentin if you can.

Start exercising

I used to drink a shite load of beer, it's amazing how much better you feel once you stop.

Says that he's not going to go through DTs....and then proceeds to list symptoms of DTs. Classic.

I wouldnt go to AA if I was you. AA is for losers like me that cant quit by myself. AA is for people that lose jobs, have health issues, and lose relationships with friends and family.

You arent there yet. Wait a few more months, maybe years, then AA will be right for you.

Lots of terrible advise in this thread. Good luck stopping, you are an alcoholic. Sorry to say that, but just because you function doesn't hide you from the disease. Someone is being harmed by your drinking, kids, family, job... Exercise, seek some treatment intensive outpatient, find some sober friends. AA sucks unless you love to hear lots of bitching and self loathing. Good luck....
