This was written about 80 years ago, we humans still do the same:

Here are some of the methods we have tried: Drinking beer only, limiting the number of drinks, never drinking alone, never drinking in the morning, drinking only at home, never having it in the house, never drinking during business hours, drinking only at parties, switching from scotch to brandy, drinking only natural wines, agreeing to resign if ever drunk on the job, taking a trip, not taking a trip, swearing off forever (with and without a solemn oath), taking more physical exercise, reading inspirational books, going to health farms and sanitariums, accepting voluntary commitment to asylums—we could increase the list ad infinitum.

I find one thing in that list does help. Taking physical exercise and looking after your health can have a massive effect on your attitude to binge drinking or drinking in general.

When I was boxing, I hardly ever drank. I was training every weekend and eating good. The thought of a drink made me feel sloppy and the thought of waking up in the morning feeling like death was even worse. Exercise doesn’t just train your body, it trains your mind.

Yes, it does. Point they are trying to make is, we dont take action toward giving up alcohol altogether. Eventually we gravitate back to alcohol, if we dont take this business seriously.
