My Pdoc was mentioning me that drinking alcohol is very bad for sz, even a small drop of alcohol. I know that anxiety can potentiate our symptoms, but that has never happened to me. I feel ridiculed, in UK doctors said it is ok to have one or two beer max, this Pdoc is holding me as an idiot.

I’ve cut back quite a bit. usually I have 1 or 2 beers a week, to relax me after a long day. I don’t buy it anymore though, im not to be trusted with alcohol in my house. but mom and dad will give me one at dinner, about once a week over at their house.

Tbh, I feel quite proud to answer this the way I do. I’ve drank maybe once this year. Hopefully never again tbh.

I have it on occasion, but I always feel more paranoid and sad the next day.

I have wine with dinner sometimes,

Not every night.

My doctor asks about alcohol usage and I told him the same thing,

He didn’t seem to have a problem with it.

I’ve never had alcohol except in kombucha (fermented tea).

I drink every couple weeks. A glas of wine or one or two beers, and that’s it.

I’ve drank enough for this life time

Over a year ago, I drank a Mickey of vodka to see what it did to me. Crazy logic, not rational.

Then more recently I used alcohol in a medicinal Vitamin C concoction, but only drank a tablespoon a day. Not enough to get any kind of buzz on.

I’m not an alcoholic. No desire to explore that beverage again.

I can say I haven’t been drunk since last oct. 16th, almost a year ago, when I had a whole six pack with my brother the night before we hiked a 10 mile section of the Appalachian trail.

I dink occasionally while out with friends. I don’t get drunk though, I’ve had enough altered states of consciousness for one lifetime.

I’m going to keep an eye on this, but not close it. Just keep in mind we’re recovery oriented.

I don’t drink because I tend to go way overboard and it flares my physical health issues. It messes with my mental health, too, but not as bad.

I used to drink a ton to self-medicate, but nowadays I only have a glass of wine maybe 2-3 times a week. I don’t go overboard with it anymore

I don’t drink because I don’t like to lose control.
I’m on powerful meds and the combination of psychotropics and alcohol is a no go.

But to be honest I have the occasional urge to have one beer once in a while.

I haven’t drank in decades.

I drink sometimes.

The problem is I actually have felt like my meds dont work after a heavy night !!

I always thought people were talking shiit to me about them not working so great when i drank but yea, its not good to drink on them, yet i still do it.

Maybe I must go to an AA meeting, fuuck knows !!

Even a sip of alcohol makes me sick to my stomach. Its been that way for over a year. I have no clue why. Maybe the clozapine.

My buddy drinks on his anti-psychotics and he blacks out so easily and his memory is so bad. Ive gotten used to telling him the same stories over and over. If I have a crave to drink he says “youre not missing much”…so id say thats the same for all of us who dont drink
