Hi Conor, and welcome.
There are other members from your beautiful Isle in this group. They'll chime in before long.
This thread has some good background info:
viewforum.php?f=3TSM works for both kinds of drinkers you mention. That said, a fair amount of what we know at this point (at the very detailed level) comes from experiences shared on this board rather than hard science.
It's a good sign that you are taking this on so young. Many here believe that the longer we've been drinking, the longer it takes to unwire the drinking reward circuits in our brains.
As for how TSM works for bingers vs daily drinkers, that's harder to say. But there are plenty of both now on the board and plenty of both in the cured/control list (check that out too).
Best wishes!
