Hi everyone,
I did search the threads and did see some results, although I don't know how much the original posters had been drinking, so I wanted advice on my own situation.
I'm 24, 6foot2 and weigh 180lbs.
In 2013 I developed a vodka addiction:
* Drank every night for 1 year. Each night I drank no more than 35cl. This made me BLACKOUT drunk
* In mid-2014, this increased to 40-45cl.
* This STOPPED in November 2014. Was rx Librium for w/d but didn't need them (amazingly)
Since then, I've been a weekend only drinker.
My tolerance climbed around October last year back to the 40-45cl mark, and in January this year, I quit for 14 days.
* After quitting for 14 days, 5 or 6 beers got me PISSED (or 20-30cl of gin)
* Was able to maintain this level of drinking until November when it suddenly climbed again, back to ~45cl
Surely my old tolerance should come back if I go off it for a few weeks or a month?
Any advice appreciated... thanks
(And nope, I've never taken ANY other drugs of any sort... I've smoked weed a handful of times but haven't doneso in years! (yes I'm boring haha))
