You are not considered an alcoholic with only 3 drinks a year. Three drinks a day is a problem. A glass of wine or a cocktail every 3-4 months is not a problem. There is nothing to quit, unless you smoke, if so go cold turkey.

Your alcohol intake is extremely limited and should not be a problem if you decided to quit completely.
