Some ideas:
1)Before you start drinking try to think about how you will feel after
2)Make a calendar and everyday you don't drink mark an X on the day - you won't want to break the streak
3)Drink way more seltzer water
4)Consider fasting - when I started fasting I had ZERO interest in eating or drinking garbage
5)Seek therapy

I'll vouch for the seltzer water. Turns out I'm just addicted to drinking carbonated beverages that aren't sweet... not necessarily the beer/alcohol. A lot of non-alcoholic beers are getting to be pretty decent too. If you want to stay cheap, even a bud zero is surprisingly tolerable and totally fills the cravings for both carbonation and that refreshing beer taste. Between seltzer water and non-alcoholic beers, I've massively decreased my alcohol consumption and feel pretty great. Would highly recommend for anyone looking to cut back
