> Um, are you recommending self medicating with alcohol if you can't get your doctor to prescribe benzos?
Pc, I'm responding to Sabrina's sigh: "as I sit at work, fighting hard to get anything done and longing for the energised feeling after just 2 glasses of wine."
Who is being helped by her not having the needed alcohol to get her body chemistry into a more productive state?
If she were to have just enough alcohol to get past the mini-withdrawal, then she might be more functional. She was actually drunk at work before, and functional, so if scaled back a bit, might be a way to get though the day and overloading on alcohol at night to catch up.
The theme is more along the lines of 8 ounces of vodka one ounce per hour rather than all 8 ounces at once. A minimal periodic amount throughout the day might just offset the need her body has for it, while not getting noticeably intoxicated or smelling obviously of alcohol.
