Stabilization is the goal for me, I need to set a 'cold turkey' date and give it 30 days before comparing symptoms.

Yes, sounds like me when I was in my mid forties. I don't know if in-fact my PN was alcohol related(probably, to some degree) but having quit drinking over 12 years ago for other health reasons doesn't appear to be relevant. Indeed, I didnt even experience an obvious PN level until like 5 years after I quit drinking.

Of course, my doc declared my PN to be "ideopathic", case-closed.

I tried B-12 methyl sub-lingual tablets for several months, my blood labs actually showed a dramatic increase in B-12 in the boady. But, no real evidence of tangible benefit for the PN.

So, eventhough my PN haven't gotten better, at least it hasn't gotten worse, and only has a minimal effect on my life.

I would usually have a few beers when I finished my chores or my workout.
I usually never drank on Mondays or Tuesdays. But Wednesday is a dinner out night. So I would have a beer before we left home, had a few at the restaurant, and maybe one when we got home. Thursdays were hit or miss depending what I was doing or if someone stopped by. Friday was always beer and pizza night. Saturday was start drinking when I had all of my work done. Maybe drink 4 or 5 beers. Sunday, again depends on who stopped by. But usually 3 or 4 beers at the end of the day. I would realistically estimate a case of light beer a week. Maybe throw in a bottle of wine, a couple of shots of bourbon, or some IPA on special occasions.
The B12, Iron, etc checked out OK.

Very similar here, except it's 7 days. We are rural and do not have garbage pick-up, so instead of running into town to buy beer then having to drive to the dump frequently I bought a Kegerator. I accept that some here are saying " 'Boom'...alcoholic" but my response is not to confuse laziness with true alcoholism

Anyway, the keg is usually Miller High Life(yeah yeah...cheap date), but right after my 'PN flair up' my Yee Haw Dunkle keg came in. I can say this, the Yee Haw has not aggravated my PN at all, but IPA and Miller certainly does. I have decided that when the Yee Haw is gone, I will do my 30 days on the wagon. I will follow up with my findings.

Here is a tidbit, my brother(12 years older than me) is a retired Oncologist. He drinks like a fish and has always drank like a fish(yes that means more then me). He has zero PN so the puzzle just keeps getting jumbled up and pieces lost thru the crack in the floor........
