>>307428I don't think it has something to do with the dopamine system. Drug withdrawal happens with antidepressant too and any kind of withdraw can lead to death, seizures and other awful things that are probably not related to dopamine.

>>308323Well if you want to be an alcoholic sometimes you have to compromise. I haven't gone a day without a drink in over 10 years and before I switched to light beer I was getting close to a 750ml of whiskey a day. Even wine is too high ABV to be drinking heavily on a daily basis. Drinking beer even if you don't care for it is better than having to quit because you're dying too fast. You still get alcohol in your system but it's safer.

I haven't had a drink in years, maybe close to a decade. I can't stand the smell of alcohol anymore, it makes me feel nauseous. Probably because in my 20s I used to drink and get sick a lot
I saw a succubus drinking at a bus stop at 9am a few weeks ago, it looked like clean vodka, must have tasted like liquid death

>>308327>I can't stand the smell of alcohol anymore, it makes me feel nauseous. Probably because in my 20s I used to drink and get sick a lotI experienced this with creme liquor in particular. I drank it on the regular and could down an entire bottle of Bailey's or Panama Jacks in any short summer evening. One day I overdid it and woke up groggy before heading to the wageslave dungeon. It was an awful shift. From that point on even the smell of the stuff makes me sick, as if my immune system is rejecting my desire to get my cream on.

It depends on your context. There are plenty of functioning alcoholics out there. I associate alcohol with the bossman who has whiskey and a cigar ready.

I've discovered taking 2000mg of NAC is an excellent hangover treatment. It's also helped me sleep better and feel more sharp. I've also been taking B1 to treat headaches as alcohol saps that from your system.
Ideally I'd have some magnesium as well but I ran out.
