I know it's not what you want to hear. Someone who cares enough about their Alcohol to figure out how it can be fit into their life in this way is almost always an indication that you will eventually become Alcoholic or stop drinking. It is very rare for someone who loves to drink to be able to stick to any kind of schedule with surety. What you're describing is one of the "stages of addiction" we'll call it. This stage is gonna be called the "bargaining" stage, as we all love our drug so much we begin to bargain everything we love to protect it until we have nothing left to bargain with. This is just how it works. You will likely either progress through the stages of Alcoholism or stop drinking. We can discuss withdrawal and Delirium Tremens an all of that in the short-term, but you need to know that this problem will not go away.
It's very difficult to say what schedule is most effective as DT's are actually a notoriously unpredictable thing. If you're able to go 36 hours without any Alcohol with only mild discomfort, I'm fairly certain that you're not the type of drinker in danger of experiencing DT's. You're probably aware, but DT's are not synonymous with Alcohol Withdrawal. Alcohol withdrawal can be quite painful, yes, but Delirium Tremens is taking that to the next level with extreme, nightmarish hallucinations and your entire body going completely off the rails. I believe something like 30% of people who actually go into DT will die even with treatment.
The only good advice here is to really be honest with yourself and consider what Alcohol means for you and your life. There are other ways of feeling good. It can seem like really distant, alien idea, but it's possible. It's difficult to see when you're still in the midst of your habit. Good luck and let us know if there's anything else we can do.
