Liquor habit

People did many stupid things in the past.

replace it with a less harmful drug

Unironically, apparently drinking 7–14 pints (depending on your weight) a week is actually healthier than drinking nothing at-all. And that's not going by specific health benefits from specific forms of booze.

Honestly user don't do that, it's really unhealthy.
t. has family that did that and are now alcoholics

The best thing is to stop eating. Look up prolonged fasting.
5-7 day fast will cure most addictions

Cure, nah. Prove whether you are or not addicted, yeah.

i highly doubt its consumption is "healthier" than to not drink it at all. such claims are funded by big alcohol, just like how pro-coffee studies are funded by big coffee. my guess is they're playing the stock market.

addiction is a spook

If you don't have a physical dependency yet I would just get rid of the alcohol. If you do you should ween off and just quit. If you don't think it is actually alcoholism yet it might be okay to drink at social occasions, but never actually keep any around the home.

just drank like five double whiskeys while watching Evangelion netflix (jihad against no flfy me to the moon)

gotta say boy do I love alcohol. you just love to drink it
