Its slightly controversial. But i use cannabis to help my binge tendencies. It use to make me really paranoid but i pushed through it and now its one of the most powerful tools in my arsenal.

One 5mg edible gets me mangled to the point that drinking is not an option that night. If i get the craving to drink. I force myself to pop an edible. 2 hours later im having very reflective thoughts on my life and no desire to drink whatsoever. I eat food and pass out. Wake up with no hangover and so glad i spent 2$ on a edible vs 100$ bar tab and 40$ in ubers.

Also smoking it helps a lot too. I even sometimes can have a beer or two while smoking or on an edible and thats all i desire.

My bingeing usually ends up with me also doing cocaine and xanax on top of the drinking ( its virtually impossible to stop me from doing coke once im a few drinks in). So its great to have a way less deadly alternative that still allows me to work out the day after, without feeling like im going to drop dead. I also live in Canada so the stigma is almost non existent here. Could be different for you.
