Addiction Alcohol addiction worse than benzo addiction?

[chris_p]

I recently kicked my xanax habit mostly because I was entering cycles of having to buy copious amounts every week, running out of money around week 2, then suffering horrible withdrawals until I got paid again. Iin its void I now just drink liters of wine every day which is putting an equal strain on my finances. Would it be better at this point to just go back to using xanax? The hangovers are terrible and I generally feel far more shit than I did before and alcohol does not do a good job of curbing anxiety unless I drink myself blackout. What gives? I thought the one was a hard drug?

Benzodiazepines are worse in few ways and alcohol is worse in countless ways.

Another is hardcore medicine, another is so bad at being medicine that I have heard of one case of booze prescription (I am not joking, it was for some kind of random medical episodes causing extreme muscle tension booze was proven to solve)
