I am all or nothing, I've actually found it easier not to drink than to try and limit as I am that person that just has another...few!

Same here, one drink is too much, 6 is not enough. That's why I gave up (apart from Menorca as regulars (pun!) will know). but even then I don't go mad. Used to but those days are long gone. Not had a drink at all since 6 October 2022.

Anyway - 22/27 today.

Sounds like you've 'cracked' it RobM99, I would like to find a balance but more importantly be able to choose, not just when to drink but when agreeing to things in general. I am the yes (wo)man and everyone knows I won't turn down an invitation even when I don't really want to do something. 
This week it started Wednesday...I have so far declined an invitation for a meal out or takeaway and a blatant 'drinks after work Friday' The latter 'jokingly' telling me they have a rare Saturday off and I'm not being a supportive friend if i dont join them. My reply was i'll be 24 days into my dry Feb so who isn't being the supportive friend? 🙃 We are late 30's not late teens!!! 
@AllNightDiner my biggest problem is finding alternative drinks, I'm yet to find anything else (other than tea and wine) that I actually enjoy drinking! 
 
24/28 for me today please cathybird. If I don't make my evening gym session it will be because I've fallen asleep

Committing early for 9/10 please Cathybird.

Alternative pub drinks I turn to: Ghost Ship, Becks Blue, Tonic without the Gin, Schweppes bitter lemon, A tomato juice/ Bloody Mary without the Vodka, Lime and Soda, J2O but it's so sweet.

"What? You don't drink?!"    Nope
"Who goes to a pub and drinks soda and lime?!"  Ummm...me.

It's a strange world at times!
