www.alcoholaddictionportal.com Alcoholic Poisoning What are Alcoholism and Alcoholic Toxicity, which is also called Alcoholic Poison? I understand alcoholism to be drinking in a way that negatively affects life, work, health, family and relationships. Of course it is also a physical and mental addiction or dependence on alcohol which one can not control unless one has the mind set to do so! There is such a thing as “accidental alcohol addiction” which occurs because as we age, our body changes the way it metabolizes and excretes alcohol. Older people and women have a lower body water and a higher fat content, which slows metabolism and results in faster indoxification and faster alcohol poisoning. Older people or those taking Codeine, Valium, Zanax, or Acetaminophen along with alcohol acquire alcohol poisoning and sedative side affects faster. Why do some people who drink a lot become alcoholics, while others don’t? Genes and environment both play a big part in it. Children of alcoholics tend more often to become alcoholics themselves because while growing up this activity of drinking becomes part of normal life. The more you drink, the more you want, because of the chemical changes in your brain pathways. Partying, pubbing, and always using alcohol for fun and pleasure gradually opens the door to more drinking and alcoholism. You want to feel liberated, carefree, confident and bold! You may use it to fit in with a crowd you like, who drink frequently, or just to pass …
stopped drinking? my friend was telling me that it only takes a 6 pack everyday for 6 months. I don’t know if thats true. That doesn’t seem like enough to cause death from withdrawal symptoms.
Before 2009, I barely ever drank at all. Maybe 10-15 times in my life.
Since the start of January, I’ve drank heavily every single weekend except one. On spring break, I got drunk 7/10 nights. I know it sounds like a lot, but is this 3 and 1/3 months of heavy drinking enough for my body to form a physical addiction to alcohol?
I realize I am a rare case, so there is no need to point that out.
I am almost 25 and recently quit drinking. I was a cronic drinker for the last 7+ years. I have not drank in 36 days (but who’s counting). It was very hard the first 2 weeks and I finally feel like I am not dying. But, I still have no energy and wake up with night sweats every night. Last week my body erupted in break outs and I have never broken out before. Other things have happened, my period was so intence with pain I was crying, and I have missed work with headaches. This was also last week. My question is, why am I still dealing with this? Could it be other issues besides detox? Can I speed it up?
Just a little more back ground, I also quit doing cocain at the same time. I was doing a lot everyday and had been for several months straight.
other than compassion, caring, loving, taking extremely good care of, and just trying to understand? The irritability is really getting to me when I am doing everything possible. I need some new answers, since mine don’t seem to be working

I have social anxiety quite badly. I go to a counselor, but still have not been able to over come it. I don’t want to be on medication. Is it ok to drink in moderation to help control these feelings? Until recently I never drank at all because it was against my religion. Sometimes now I drink a bit when I know there is going to be a social event or to help calm me to sleep. Is that ok?

I’m 26 and I have been drinking pretty regularly since I was 21. A few months ago, I started to slow down on how much I was drinking because I was getting awful hangovers when I drank heavily. This past weekend, I drank a lot with my friends over the weekend for two days. I didn’t get that bad of a hangover, but now after 2 day of not drinking, I am experiencing anxiety, tingling hands, restlessness, hot/cold flashes, racing mind, and a bizarre feeling that I need to escape. I have had issues with anxiety and panic attacks in the past, so I don’t know if this is just my anxiety disorder kicking in or symptoms of alcohol withdrawal. Any input from those with experience?
