No but this is the best wrong answer.
Drink beer and control yourself. Jesus dude what a ridiculous question

I had the same issue as you, once I started drinking, I couldn't stop.
My solution was to go sober for a month to prove to myself I didn't need to drink to have fun. I'd still go out with my friends to bars and such, but not drink. At first it sucked, but I started to really enjoy just being present in the moment. It helped me realize that I was using alcohol to numb myself, and I wasn't even enjoying my nights out while drinking because I couldn't remember them. One month turned into two, then three, etc. I went a full 8 months before having another drink.
Now when I drink, I tend to drink hard liquor and water. The liquor tastes awful so that helps me slow down, and the water keeps me semi-hydrated so the hangover isn't bad, if there is one at all.
Try weed edibles. It's not the same type as fun as booze is in the sense that weed can make you antisocial while alcohol makes you social. The weed barely has a hangover.
The move is to smoke a little weed during the pregame and then start drinking afterwards. That way the alcohol overrides the "antisocial" effects of the weed but you don't need to drink as much to get to the same level of fucked up. It's like the equity cushion in anLBO. Figure out how much you can drink without being violently hungover (max leverage), set a goal for how sauced you wanna get (total capitalization), then plug the difference with weed. If you're feeling bold you can even do a bolt-on acquisition (coke) or a dividend recap (ketamine). Fr tho I been doing this strat for years and barely ever get hangovers, everything in life is abt optimizing risk vs return
This is the best and simultaneously the worst post ever on this forum
In HS: "I will never touch drugs!"
As an adult: "hmm. This seems like an interesting Quad mind fuck concoction to try"
Hit the nail on its head here. You could also consider moving to Amsterdam.. Some nice高频Tprop shops here and the nightlife >NYC
See the thing is the title to this post is contradictory.
The word you're looking for is alcoholic. I'd take a tolerance break for 4 weeks and evaluate how dependent you are on alcohol to have fun.
If you really can't control yourself (and to me this is a foreign concept cos??? Just don't drink more? But whatever) then everyone telling you to stop drinking completely is absolutely correct.
I have a buddy who was similar. Couldn't stop drinking once he started. Every night would end with him being kicked out. Then he got almost seriously injured because of it. He stopped drinking for 6 months after that. Went to all social events completely sober. Was weird at first but realised he doesn't need to drink to have fun. He's now sober out of choice but has the occasional drinking session and no longer goes overboard. I'd think about a similar path.
A few solutions for you:
Time to grow up. Not only is this behavior immature but it's also dangerous. If you blackout almost every time, eventually you will get robbed, beat, or thrown in jail for being belligerent/doing something stupid. One of these outcomes eventually happens to every person who drinks that heavily. Talking from personal experience and anecdotally.
You have to learn how to get a buzz without going overboard while knowing your "beer math" and understanding your limit. On getting a buzz, drink fast in the first 30 mins and then slow down. That buzz will be the strongest you'll get and there won't be a better one and it's just a matter of maintaining it.
And on the beer math and knowing your limit, there are a couple things to note. Ask yourself how many drinks it takes you over a time period to black out. Your limit should be half to 2/3 of that. It takes one drink (12oz of 5% beer, 1.5oz of 40% hard liquor, or 5oz of 12% wine) around an hour to leave your system. So if you have four drinks in an hour, just assume by the end of the next hour you'll be at three drinks in your system and additional drinks up your tally. For example, two drinks in the next hour means you are at five drinks in your system. This method will help keep count and let you hold yourself more accountable. You can never say I drank too much without realizing as you'll be willfully ignoring your mental math.
In addition to overall just not drinking as much, one thing that has helped me is having just 1-2 drinks a couple nights during the week. If you are used to only binge drinking on the weekends, then that pattern will continue unless you teach your body/mind that you are not going to black out every time you drink.
My ideal situation is going out during the day. Get a lunch that turns into dinner, have 20 drinks, stumble into your bed at 9pm, wake up on Sunday with 10 hours of sleep.
stick to only vodka or tequila soda and don't mix alcohol
I realized what caused my hangovers was sugary drinks like green tea shots.
Chaseyour drinks with pedialyte and drink another in the morning when you wake up. You'll be good as new
"I'm going to make him an offer he can't refuse."
Agree with all the above. Drink clean alcohol (no sugar) and take liquid IV before going out. Also staying out late is half of the hangover IMO.
