Sudden abstinence probably isn't the best way to go after having maintained that consumption level for a few months, but I think its probably time to cut down. I remember i stopped drinking daily suddenly once before.. I didn't go into full blown withdrawl because I wasn't drinking THAT much, but I did feel really jumpy and had some savage panic attacks.

I've read a few medical studies which indicate that consuming up to 35 units a week (about 1 750ml bottle of wine a day) is actually very good for your circulatory system and lowers your risk of many cancers, but they don't address when the risk to your liver catches up.

Nothing wrong with a bottle a day, man!

Good wine should be enjoyed in copious amounts!!

bah...the other night i drank bout 8 beers..nothing special..but on top of that took a couple of bars (xanax) at my friends house, he had a little get together.

Bad thing is I had to ask him what I did that night cause I did'nt remember a damn thing past midnight... some crazy shit I heard too..

I dont think iv'e ever had that experience before where you cant remember anything u did the night before when you wake up in the morning... very shitty experience..nvr nvr again

**jollyperv** · 03-06-2003, 11:22 PM

Actually, I saw something on the news that drinking ANY kind of alcohol, not just wine, (in moderation of course) is good for your heart and circulatory system.

Drink up

**detoxed** · 03-06-2003, 11:55 PM

Its gotten bad when you cant remember anything for the last 5 months... as long as you remember 3 months ago, its no biggie, nothing has happened in the last 3 anyway.

"How do you know when you're drinking too much?"

When you have to ask someone.

**angeleyes** · 03-07-2003, 05:48 AM

When you start pulling stunts like this and get thrown out of the club.

You should know that you're a fucking drunk when all of your friends give you wine for chirtmas...
