In reply to Alcohol substitute - what's best?, posted by hok on November 16, 2002, at 12:09:38
I really hate to say this, because it sounds pro-alchohol or something. But I haven't found anything that adequately substitutes for alchohol. I rarely drink, but I find that one drink works for me in certain conditions in a way that klonopin can't. Alchohol calms severe agitation far better than klonopin. I'm waiting for my next agitated episode to try Risperdal for it. That may work better. I know that's just me and that it actually causes agitation in some of my relatives.
In fact, it works so well that I tried to abstain, because I come from a family history of alchoholism.
