Thanks for the support bizi. I dont think I can taper, I drink anything in sight until I pass out or something else bad happens. I am prepared to be a little sick maybe, I already feel somewhat sick during the day when not drinking and once I couldnt eat for days after quitting but I dont think it should be that bad this time.

Good luck to you in giving it up for lent, I do remember other times you have done that, from what I remember you generally do well and seem to cope well. I hope it goes smoothly for you.
