You already know what to do, stop or drink in moderation, but the more basic question here is why are you doing this? Are you sub-consciously trying to sabotage your own success? Or do you have an issue of control? What is your belief regarding "enjoyment"? I would suggest that you sit down - on a day without a hangover :-), and identify the reasons behind this behaviour. What were some of the things you heard as you were growing up regarding a good time? What was the behaviour of your parents regarding enjoyment? You might be able to uncover your current blueprint regarding this area and then perhaps you can start working on it.

It seems that what is slowing down your LOA progress isn't so much the drinking but the guilt about it, especially since you make an effort to be healthy during the week, but you state that for a day or two after drinking you abandon those healthy efforts.

I live in a culture where drinking large amounts is the norm, and I've been where you are. Looking back now, I see it wasn't so much the drinking that was keeping me stuck as it was the thoughts and judgements that I had about it, especially in the days after.

I'm not saying that alcohol has no effect on your vibration - it is a depressant after all. But it's completely possible to have a fun night out drinking, and spend the next day just taking it easy, feeling pretty good (because you drank a lot of water during and after drinking to minimise the hangover, plus maybe you took some milk thistle to help your liver out - strongly recommended!), maybe allowing yourself the indulgence of a takeaway meal and feeling good about it, because you deserve to have some deliciously "bad" foods once in a while. Maybe you'll just spend the whole day on the couch watching comedies that make you laugh out loud. You don't need to exercise or meditate, because what matters the most is that you're feeling good and non-resistant.

Many of my hangover days are pretty much what I described above, and I don't feel that they set me back attraction-wise, in fact sometimes they help - I'll have a great night out celebrating life with my friends, and the day after I really enjoy the fact that I have an "excuse" to be lazy and eat ice-cream all day.

There's a caveat to this though, and it comes back to what @Stingray was saying about whether the night out is a result of being driven by your joy, or of running away. If you're running away from something, then you might want to examine that (which doesn't necessarily mean stop going out and drinking cold turkey - don't remove the crutch until you've started working on the solution, you'll just fall!).

But if it's an expression of your inner joy, then try to relax a little bit about it - drinking isn't un-spiritual. We're spiritual beings, everything we do can be spiritual, including drinking and partying. Partying can further you on your spiritual path, if it's aligned with your higher self.

If you are truly happy enjoying life drinking and clubbing, then I really don't see a problem. If you feel it is negatively effecting a certain outcome you are manifesting then you have to see what your priority is.

I personally have fun clubbing and drinking moderately. Perhaps it is easy as not getting wasted just buzzed and still having a good time even if others are more drunk....

Alcohol is mind altering. Your thought are not your normal thoughts when under the influence. You are confusing the vibrations that you have placed out in the universe while sober then when under the influence the mind thought and everything else is altered. Remember you are only attracting back what you are putting out.

No, but what will you attract? A hangover, or maybe an auto accident are just two situations that align vibrationally with alcohol.

We are always creating, even when we are having a good relaxing time. Alcohol is a depressant, so your vibrational frequency is functioning at a slower rate. This might be of benefit or not. Only you can decide.

By the way, you state that this is only once a week, but be advised the alcohol remains in the system several days.

The last year that I drank, I only drank three times. I suppose that one would not say that I had any problem with alcohol, except: 1.) All three times, I got so smashed that I needed days to recover; and 2.) Years before, in college, I drank that way any day I could; and 3.) When the hangover wore off, I felt bad about myself and what I was doing; and 4.) I anticipated getting drunk days and days before I drank.

Taking all these points into account, I found that I could no longer justify picking up a drink. I found that further education about alcohol and what constituted a drinking problem led me to decide to never drink again. My genetics were also against my ever drinking again: my grandfathers, both my aunts, and my father- all were alcoholic. I had two children at the time, and for their sakes, if not my own, I decided to never drink again.

It has been 34 1/2 years, and I do not regret that decision. My children did not have to see me drunk. But what is most important, I did not have to reintroduce myself to myself after I drank. I believe that I would never have grown spiritually if I had continued to drink.

Other people may have decided something different than me. I based my choice on the fact that I seemed to diminish when I drank. I did not like this diminishment at all.
