Hi Needesp,
Yes, your are probably correct as to why those docs try to discourage you from drinking alcohol.
For the past year or so, my boyfriend's problems has been more "heavy" drinking. Of course that's in my opinion .. He has gotten into the habit of going up to our local watering hole almost every night. He usually can drink about 10 beers and then at the end of the night a shot or two. Would that be considered heavy drinking??
Yes, if he can't sleep, he will get up and eat. I thought that this was very uncommon, but I guess not, huh?
Thanks much for your response! ~Flame~
> in my personal opinion, i believe that pdocs tell you not to drink on just about every med because they want to keep your chances slim of becoming an alcoholic. and they have a good point, because alcohol can give you a temporary release from your problems.
