To help with that, start by setting a monthly budget for beer, and hold yourself to it. The budget cap could be the method for weaning the habit down: start with $50, then progressively move it downward each month. Based on your post, a $50/month cap would run out quickly, so you'd have to start rationing. Once you can accept a rationed cap, it just an act of reducing it over time.

Otherwise a good idea, but setting the cap in terms of cash can introduce an incentive to buy the cheapest possible beer so that you can buy more of it. I would suggest capping the total volume of alcohol instead.
