Unclear question: Do not buy beer. Do not keep any in the house. Do not borrow any from your neighbors. For good health - Have a diet rich in fresh vegetables, fruits, whole grains, low fat milk and milk products, nuts, beans, legumes, lentils and small amounts of lean meats. Avoid saturated fats. Exercise at least 150 minutes/week and increase the intensity of exercise gradually. Do not use tobacco, alcohol, weed or street drugs in any form. Practice safe sex.

Alcohol overuse: Talk with your doctor about how much you're drinking. There are several ways to help you decrease your drinking to safe levels or to discontinue it altogether, including meds and therapy depending upon what’s driving your behavior. Good luck!

Get help if needed: The fact you are asking this question here leads me to assume that you have tried on your own and have not been successful. I also see you are being treated for anxiety/depression with Prozac (fluoxetine). I would talk about your alcohol issues with the prescriber, and if needed get a referral to a counseling center that works with people with alcohol problems. You already know its not good for you-good luck

Find something to replace with as it seems you rely on alcohol each night for your issues. Eat before you start drink. Best wishes.
