I'm at uni and go out drinking with my friends pretty regularly, partly to meet girls. I think one of the key factors of my failure to hook up is me drinking far to much. My buddies and I often get carried away drinking and partying, letting the night go by having close to no success. When really drunk I do approach, some girls even have positive reactions but rejected me at some point for being shitfaced or I get distracted and just leave.

Before a night out I often plan to drink less, but after some beers that plan leaves my brain very fast. Sometimes I think I have a drinking problem.

Now my question for you guys is, how do I stop myself from over drinking. How do I not get peer pressured into drinking more. How do I avoid developing a serious drinking problem?

For more context I'm 21 year old from Germany, where alcohol is very cheaply available.
