while i don't have any advice on how to slow down i want to caution you that it seems you may be standing at the edge of a slippery slope. Admitting your powerless over alcohol is always hard but if in fact you are the sooner you admit it to yourself and stop drinking completely the less damage you'll do to your life and the lives of those around you. Good luck!

I would suggest that you examine the reasons you "drink a lot." Is it to get drunk? Are you physically addicted to drinking? Have you ever been able to stop for a length of time?

If the answer to these questions are yes, yes, and no, respectively, I'd say you don't have a great chance at success.

Speak with your doctor about Antibuse or other alcohol-related medications that might help you. But first, please examine why you "love to drink," and what effects this has on the rest of your life and relationships.

Best of luck!

try and pace yourself... drink other things juice, water. i would be concerned drinking A LOT is not a good thing. good luck.

go to the doctor and ask him to examine your liver, perhaps show you x-rays or something, this should suffice.
