Here are two considerations:

- Try to drink for the taste, not to became wasted. Try to sense the flavour of what you're drinking. I don't think that 12 cans of whatever you drank was so fantastic that you enjoyed all of them. I have plenty of bottles of wine and beers at home, but I rarely drink more than a glass. Also, when you start looking for the taste, you'll discover that good bottles are way more expensive and you want to enjoy drinking them.

- I've only quit smoking, so I can tell what worked for me. I read a book ("it's easy to stop smoking if you know how to do that"), that convinced me that the cigarettes were giving me nothing. We all have excuses to smoke, but in reality they're just excuses. We don't even like that, we only have to think our first cigarette to remind how bad it was. The book goes deep into this topic and actually convinces you that it's better to not smoke, but you must NEVER smoke a cigarette ever again, so that's what I did, and I am happily non-smoking since 15 years. I reccomend you to go this path if you don't want to drink, ever, again. But it doesn't seem the case because you want to continue drinking socially.
