Just getting back to this as work has been busy. I think you're right that I should get professional treatment for alcohol use disorder. On the other hand, one of the things that is often recommended to begin tapering off alcohol is to switch to drinks with lower content or to alternate, as was suggested above. Rarely do they recommend stopping cold turkey. Both of your suggestions came from a place of wanting to be helpful toward another human, so I appreciate them.
