Hopefully the central part of your comment isn't lost amidst the rest of the discussion as I think it's realistic and practical advice:
"Just put a system in of deferring first drink, going to bed s bit earlier i.e. Before the last drink, and ensure you have a glass of water and a cup of tea between each glass. That'll reduce the amount you drink by s glass or two."
Have less wine/alcohol easily accessible in the house. Make sure alternatives are readily at hand (e.g., large water glass and jug for refills on your desk). Try to get into the habit of drinking a full glass of water before you next top up your wine glass. Never fill your wine glass beyond a certain point. Maybe try to find half-bottles so it's less likely that you drink more than half a bottle in a night?

Perhaps try making a fancy tea complete with precise water temperature and steeping time. I’ve also recently become a fan of egg white based drinks. Even without alcohol I find it very rewarding to make the perfect egg white foam. Plus I can share those drinks with my kids and elderly grandmother.
