It doesn't work that way. it's alcoholic dependencie. if you're not getting the shakes it's not because you think you're strong. You're not drinking at the level people do who get the shakes.
drink 4 gallons of American beer (3-4 percent by volume) over the course of the day for months at a time. see if you can suddenly cold turkey.
it is not only uncomfortable but will lead to coma with siezures and there is a great chance you will die.
not only that, your liver will be pickled. even if you did this for 3 months and then never drank again, you can almost certainly be guarenteed your liver will be dead in 20 years time. you may forget all about your heavy drinking but one day, you will go "Ouch, my ribs on the right side hurt" and the next thing you will know is you're at ER suffering from probably a combination of non-viral hepatitis as well as pancreatic issues.
you will need to either cute the fat and scar tissue from the liver to prevent it from eating itself even more or require a new liver all together.
most people after the age of 50 won't be lucky to get a liver. they're at the bottom of the list. by age 70 you will be straight up denied.
What, you don't believe me? You calling me a liar, Mother Fucker? say that to my face.
just kidding, Bro. no hostilities from me.
