I'm British too and know exactly what you mean. As a student, all we did was drink drink drink. A day without drinking was unthinkable. Of course, this habit carried on for a time into my post-university life. Eventually I got sick of it. I was enjoying it but the hangovers and the feeling of not being in control were getting worse.
So I quit completely And now I don't drink at all. Not even a glass of wine at dinner. I think it's the only way. I've had the good fortune to move out of the UK, which really helps. That's one solution, anyway!
Good luck.
