used to be an alcoholic. I started drinking when I was 22. For a long time I was just a normal social drinker. Then by 24 I was a full blown alcoholic.

I drank so much for the last 2 years I actually triggered epilepsy in myself. I've had 5 grand mal seizures since May and i've been hospitalized twice. My life is basically over. I can't go anywhere by myself or drive since I risk blacking out falling over and slamming my head against something/smashing my face into the pavement/crashing my car.

I regret it so much.

Alcohol is one of the most common triggers of seizures. While the seizures are usually caused by the withdrawal process, my neurologist said it is possible that after years of abusing alcohol you can develop epilepsy.

There's no way to directly correlate it since epilepsy is still sort of a mystery. It's also very difficult to diagnose. Usually the only way to diagnose it is to have a neurologist induce a seizure and monitor your brain activity.

Also thank you.

That's not even true. You can be a binge drinking alcoholic and not drink every day.

they're all pretty much the same.

I don't think they mean like a birthday or something, because as you guys say, that wouldn't make any sense.

Unless it's "ooh, it's St Ursula's birthday, let's have a drink" or "ooh, someone on facebook had a birthday, let's get fucked up". Then you're in trouble again.

Everyone involved in this discussion should also be aware that alcohol cessation is big business, and there are vested interests for expanding the definition of the "problem", same as with other mental health issues.

I never knew the difference between 90 and 80 proof bourbon until a few weeks ago. 80 proof is like drinking water.

I've been drinking a fifth of 90 proof Ancient Age for the last four years...every fucking night.

It's usually six drinks after work and then two in the morning before work.

But there's been a shortage of the 90 proof. Buffalo Trace is also running short. Fuck, I've been having to buy four half pints and down three leaving one for in the morning.

Tired of having the shits though I'm used to it. Tired of swollen lymph nodes though I'm used to it. At least I've not failed at my job (got a raise last week).

Try drinking a fifth of 90 proof every night for almost four years then switch to 80 proof. It's like unto buying real crab and imitation crab.

My body can tell the difference.

It's like 80 proof is a menthol light square and 90 proof is a full flavored menthol square.

Go ahead and laugh at the menthols but I dare you to go to a NA meeting and see what people are smoking.
