There are two broad approaches imho; stop drinking completely OR reduce your consumption. I'd recommend looking at ways to have social events where people can still drink but the focus of the event is something else. The long-term goal here is that eventually you can do this events where alcohol is optional and not required for a good time. In this case I recommend board games. It something that worked for me without realizing it. I play games such as Settlers of Catan, Azul, D&D/AD&D, etc. I think what I am suggesting is: find activities where alcohol is unnecessary or secondary - but not the purpose of the event. One last point: I live in NYC and have been going more to Alamo Drafthouse to see more movies. They serve beer etc. so I have an option but I'm never inclined to have more than one.
