You don't need to cut booze out completely - just get rid of one of the week pub sessions and turn the remaining 3 pint-ers into a 1 pint-er. You might want to turn the 'blowout' on the weekend into just a few pints too. I try to drink wine instead of beer where possible now too - makes a fair bit of difference. Also - do more exercise, it's a lot more fun than turning into a monk.
Neil has a point about sustainability - someone else made a very good point to me recently: weight loss shouldn't be about diets, it should be about making gradual lifestyle changes to make sure that once the weight comes off, it's not coming back.
My pro weight loss tip for the moment is: weigh yourself every morning, then take an average weight for the week. Seems to work pretty well for me: stops me from getting too exciting/disappointed by the daily fluctuation, and makes me pretty conscious of what I'm eating.
