1-10.
1 being you feel nothing positive or typical of drinking.
10 being extremely euphoric.
On or off medications?
Healthy amount of alchohol makes me feel good. I enjoy spirits better than beer/wine;I don’t drink straight, always with something else. Also I don’t drink daily;just once in a while e.g. when I eat something nice or on special occations.

i used to sit on my porch with my neighbor drinking a beer or two. It had no negative affect on me. But I wouldn’t recommend it for everybody. Schizophrenics tend to fall into abusing drugs and alcohol at a higher rate compared to the “normal” population… The risk is waiting in the wings and ready to strike. It’s too easy to form a dependence on drugs and booze for a schizophrenic.

I admit I crave alcohol a little more than before I got ill. But I still don’t drink much. More than half a cup of beer and I’m very drunk.
I nolonger drink alcohol.
I was a binge drinker.
When I had voices tormenting and agonising me 24/7 the only thing that would help was to be blind drunk or to take sleeping tablet and sleep.
Unfortunately I was disgusting when drunk and would get in to mischief and become a sl##.
But was also taken advantage of with out my will.
I ruined a lot of relationships because of it.
My grandpa had been cooking for days to make me a special birthday dinner but I was out and too drunk so I never turned up for dinner to appreciate his hard work.
I had sex I did not want etc
Crawling on the floor having sex on table etc
This is my best romantic relationship and I think that is much thanks to me being sober.
After I had cancer I stopped drinking alcohol and was celibate five years.
This time improved me as a person but I was still delusional and psychotic .
Even against my horse.
I want to spend the rest of my life with my man and to not drink alcohol is the way for me to go.
My father said I would make a good wife.
He does not say things like that easily unless he means it.
I may of had delusions about family and my father etc but even if it was true I would forgive them.
Before they put me on the Haldol shot alcohol used to make me feel wonderful. From about the second to the eleventh beer it gave me a euphoric feeling that was like a narcotic. It made me feel great. After I drank more than eleven beers I felt heavy headed, but I still felt good. Since they put me on the Haldol decoate shot I don’t get nearly as much of that euphoric feeling I used to get from alcohol. I’ve been trying to quit alcohol because I still go into blackouts and do crazy things sometimes when I drink. It’s been eleven months since I drank.

I don’t get all "omg I’m so drunk and I love you guyyyssss"
I laugh a little more and talk a little louder, depending on my level of drunkedness. I quickly have enough if I don’t drink slowly or if my drinks are too strong, and then I get tired and start throwing up.
I don’t drink often, and when I do, I try to be careful.
It doesn’t affect me other than the fact it makes me throw up sometimes when I look at it on the wall. I’m an ex-alcoholic? No such thing as an ex-alcoholic??? Thought so too, till i started meds that just destroy the cravings. They say “once an alcoholic, always an alcoholic” but i really don’t feel like one
No drinking here. Follow drs orders so nada
before meds i drunk so i could feel human emotions
now i hate alcohol it makes me sleepy and dissociated
