Well I can drink beer or cider now and again but I can't touch spirits, they were what really did me in, vodka in particular.
After all the seizures and three shoulder operations I really tested my luck.
I also have a friend who's had alcohol issues and her doctor actually told her to keep drinking each day until they could get her into a detox facility.
And that sounds crazy to some people, doctors actually advising you not to stop!
That's pretty rough man, glad to can enjoy a brew nowadays without consequence. I have heard, like you said earlier, that alcohol causes reverse tolerance if you get too far into it. I've seen some guys who get drunk off 2 beers, real drunk.
When I went to the hospital, my doctor knew I was a big drinker so they gave me benzos, which act on GABA similarly to alcohol, to avoid withdrawals. Most people don't know any of the mechanics of drugs though, thanks to piss poor drug education.
