Quitting alcohol Vs tapering off?
Posted on 11/22/16 at 7:01 pm

At what point do you need to slowly ween yourself off drinking as opposed quitting cold turkey? I've drinking a 6 pack minimum per day everyday for the last two weeks with the occasional binge night mixed in every 3-4 days. I'm done for a while. Is it ok to quit cold turkey at this point or should I taper off over the next couple of days?

It's perfectly fine to quit cold turkey...

Take 3 days off and detox. You'll be fine.

If youve only drank heavily for a couple weeks you can quit cold turkey
If youve had a 6 pack a day every day for a decade then you might have a problem

Quit cold turkey. That's what I did on Jan. 1, 1992. Now, nearly 25 years later I haven't had a drop--and haven't missed it at all.

You're not even close to having a problem baw.
Cold turkey should be simple
The world hates a quitter

You're probably ok to quit cold turkey. If you start feeling shaky or too anxious, you could drink a beer and start tapering instead.

If it's bad enough, try using "aversive conditioning." There's stuff you can take, where if you drink any alcohol afterwards you will become sick and not want to drink at all.

They call it turkey for a reason. Eat steak and drink more beer. Cheers.

I quit drinking 2 years ago. I had been a steady 4 or 5/day drinker for at least 10 years. I spent 11 days in CCU and only remember 4 of those days. The doc had already prepared my family for it to end badly.
Only drinking like you have for a few weeks, you can probably quit cold turkey.

It's a shame that you can have a 6-pack every day but I can't smoke a bowl when I get home from work.

You can quit cold turkey. Or should be able to. If you can't, then wean down.

I was drinking a minimum case a day, six days a week, for two years of college...

I drank 15+ drinks everyday for 15 years. Once every couple months I would take a few days off.
Finally i was able to ween off and now only drink 15+ drinks 1 day every couple weeks. A few days a week i drink one or two beers.
