> i must be a bad bad boy
You're not a bad boy and I'm not trying to be ad-hominem but if you drink more than several drinks a day per week you're heading in the direction of alcoholism.
People do seek out alcohol as a sedative, inhibitor of fear, etc -- but in the end, it can leave you more depressed than when you started.
Also there is the issue compounded with medication, nasty headaches afterwards, liver damage and all.
But this is just common sense, I'm just pointing this out -- I know civilization despite social morays has produced alcohol for millenia, its just something to watch out for.
Most non-benzophobe doctors I think would rather the patient use something like klonopin than drink another six pack, but that's all up to you.
And you're not the only one -- it points out that there is a chance that other medications could work that wouldn't harm the liver as much over the years.-- best wishes
