P.S. I'm sure you're right.

I've heard of that happening with heroin addicts. I've never heard of it happening with alcoholics though. Not trying to argue, I'm just saying...

It really doesn't matter...to me it's all drugs in your body causing an effect.I know this - You put a substance in your body every day and at first the body tries to evacuate it as best as possible.When the user repeats, over time... the body gives in and starts using the elements in the drug to replace normal operating system elements.Cigarettes are a good example of this, the body starts using the chemicals in the smokes trying to adapt (because the human body is a wonderful thing that way) and eventually it gives in and uses the junk.

Booze, heroin, cigarettes...we have to eliminate the facade that one is 'better' than another.If it alters your body chemistry to any extent, it's obviously changing something.The only question is - With moderate use your body can evacuate toxins daily.Step over the line for a number of years and of course your body is going to hurt during the transition when you removes those same chemicals.Question is - Where is your personal line?

I've seen relatives and a coworker go through DT's from booze...really not much different than a heroin addict going through withdrawal, just a slightly different set of symptoms.

Sure, sounds possible.

She withdrew vodka from the bottle, and put it down her throat.
