I drink either a glass of white wine or a coffee and Amaretto once every three months or so. I really don’t drink all that much. I don’t do any illegal drugs either.

I don’t drink but my husband drinks 7-12 beers a day. He’s an alcoholic and I worry about his health.

I just had 6 oz of lemoncello the other night, no I am not Italian or from Italy I just enjoy lemon liquier. I usually drink 4 to 6 drinks when I want to catch a buzz but I also will have just the one drink.

I was drinking too much bourbon but I reeled that back.

I don’t drink a drop of alcohol.
I was never addicted to booze or drugs and I’m damn proud of that fact.

I drink socially, but i need to quit that too. Doesn’t go well with my therapy at all. Not sure how to quit though.

Thing is I’m not feeling well when straight, so i experiment with alcohol and drugs, but they don’t solve anything. Or they make things worse.

I learnt that alcohol and my seroquel is a bad combo. This combination makes me feel really woozy so I don’t drink anymore.

I rarely drink. Today I drank 2 cans of beer. It was good. I can’t tolerate alcohol anymore. I used to drink a bottle of vodka every day

I don’t drink any alcohol. I use to be dependant on it and I use alcohol excessively. I have severe high blood pressure problems and alcohol is not good when you have high bp.

probably about 6 beers a month mate lol you got problems haha

yesterday i bought my pal a meal and a soft drink to celebrate his year off alcohol anniversary :slight_smile: :+1:
we meet at the pub almost every night lol

Not sure. Lol, wait that sounds worse than the truth! I enjoy a few old fashioned drinks every few days/weeks. It doesnt really do much for me (good or bad).

Im so ill I cant even tolerate coffee or medication, drinking again would probably ruin me even more. I kind of envy those still well enough to have 1 or 2. Id love to be able too, but Im on risperidone, sleeping tablets and starting AD new medication its probably very dangerous, Ive learned the hard way if I do anything much it sends me over the edge

but i loved drinking when I could, I gave up though when I was still well. It is a depressant after all, for a lot of us living in despair its probably not a good option. Although I read it lowers the glutamate in the brain or something

Since I am at risperidone I suddenly stopped drinking alcohol to some rare happenings. I just drink when I meet my family because somebody has birthday, but nothing else than beer. And not more as two or three beers. The last time I drink on my own was due to my brother he keeps his beer sometimes in my fridge, so in two days I could drink three beers. But that more then a month ago.

Doesn’t alcohol interfere with meds?

supposedly but I don’t really notice a difference.

Couple or four bottles of the strong stuff a year
Bottle of wine in one go 2 x a year
The occasional beer
Now recently decided I don’t like it that much

I might just drink a few becks blue a week

I’m a part-time alcoholic. Don’t drink for 4 days, in the other 3 days 48 cans, yes 48 haha…! And I don’t regret it since it’s a form of self-medicating and helps me against certain symptoms I suffer from…

I rarely ever drink. Sometimes I get a margarita when I get Mexican.

In college there was a brief period of time where I was drinking heavily on a weekly basis, not every day so it wasn’t alcoholism or anything. It was when I didn’t have benzos anymore and had no way to cope w the ptsd/acute psychosis symptoms.

Basically margaritas are the drink I drink because I like them, vodka is my I don’t want to be in the world self medication drink. I haven’t had any vodka in a year now :slight_smile:
