When you’ve admitted your completely powerless over alcohol and you can no longer manage your life. You are utterly defeated and humiliated and most importantly your willing to do whatever it takes to get sober and heal from the disease of alcoholism. When that time comes you will know

Before I pick up the first drink. It’s the only one I can say no to…
Just asking that question means you probably already know the answer. the answer is different for everyone that only you can truly answer.do you think you should?

I’m guessing that if you are on this app you may have a drinking problem. There are 12 questions that can help you figure out if you have a problem with drinking. These are available as a pamphlet at and AA club.
For me it was when I couldn’t go without it. Like a demon attached to me.

When you are sick and tired of the cycle. When life with drinking sucks and life trying to stop sucks. I had to be beaten down to nothing, I woke up one day and was fully prepared to kill myself because the alcohol wasn’t doing it fast enough. If you can’t stop but want to, or when you start drinking you can’t regulate how much you drink, then you should consider going into the rooms because a spiritual solution, I have found, is your only hope. Prison, death, and mental insanity are the other options.

When you feel worthless..
If you are lucky and receive the Grace of God the alcoholic merry go round will come to a screeching halt and you will be able to crawl off
Do you need to drink in the morning to feel better?
Do you vomit in the morning then drink to have it stop?
Have you tried switching e.g.; whiskey to corona, beer to wine?
Do you end most days drunk and not remember most of it the following day?
If yes to 2 or more. You need help and need to stop.
Alcohol is progressive and only ends in death if a person continues.
When most of your problems start with you were drunk then that’s probably an indication.
Amen brother
Go to your closest realest family member or someone wise that's close to you. Someone who lives a happy comfortable life and they will let you know. Or you can learn the hard way and hit rock bottom and then use it to humble up and change
I cannot stop. The only solution for me is to not start.
Doing it for your overall health is a good starting point. Your experiences are unique to you, but I think the majority of people who cut alcohol are healthier for it.
That’s the truth of it.
When you stop asking that question, you’re ready. Be. courageous and true to yourself. The answer will present itself.
That day has to come within self. You have to be willing to admit to defeat the addiction. I’ll be the first to admit the struggle is real. Relapsing is real. Time and time again people who are not ready for change will go in and out the rooms. If you really want sobriety, it works it’s a constant reminder that we are worth it. Recovery is work period and if you want it it’s up to you to change it no one can do it for you. One day at a time, One hour at a time. Reach out to people in the program, find a sponsor. Work the steps, get to meetings, get numbers. Find a circle of friends who have some time clean n the program. Pray 
ask for willingness to do this and to have faith that you Can and that You will change. Best wishes Happy Friday and make wise choices.
You know when to stop drinking when you make that decision. Like another said, it's different for everyone.
When I realized I was medicating all the pain, disappointment, rejection,trauma, and abuse from childhood & adulthood is when I decided. I realized that I was numbing the pain because no one wants to be in pain.
When I addressed my underlying issues and did the unpleasant
work, I didn't need
alcohol.
