No stop button

I've got a big night out tomorrow for a friend's special birthday. It's in a city with a meal then a few bar visits probably. Staying over at friend's place.
I just really don't want to overdo it and be hungover on Sunday.

I'm in my mid 40s now and a typical binge drinker. Can go months without drinking then, wham, a big night out and overdo it. I feel horrendous for about a week afterwards. Feel so poisoned and anxious. Hate feeling like I've let my family down and being a crap mum.

I feel I have two options here. Don't drink at all or try and stick to two drinks.
Has anyone else who previously didn't have a stop button managed to find theirs?

Also really crave cigarettes when drinking too and often smoke which doesn't help with the roughness!

I feel like I really need to challenge myself here.

I think not drinking would be easier than having two and stopping. Good luck.

Personally I would need to not drink alcohol at all. I wouldn't be able to stop at two.
