Alcohol Is my alcohol consumption considered moderate & alcoholic?

I haven't drank any alcohol now for almost a week (6 days). I think I'll stay away from it too except in social settings where drinking is happening. I feel better without it. I'm surprised I felt absolutely no withdrawal after almost a month binge. People say alcohol withdrawal is worse than Heroin withdrawal, that's a bunch of bullshit. I tried stopping dope after only doing it 2 weeks & it was so terribly uncomfortable I moaned & cried all night on day 3 without it. It's the most uncomfortable thing I've felt wayyy worse than the flu.

True alcohol withdrawal is terrifying and potentially fatal. Its far worse than heroin withdrawal. You won't get it from drinking every night for a few months, its associated with round-the-clock drinking, especially in excess of 20 units per day.

Within 6 hours you begin sweating and shaking, soon you become confused and terrified, and this can progress to psychosis and grand mal seizures (delrium tremens) that kills up to 30% of people untreated.

True, heroin withdrawal is very unpleasant and the PAWS can last forever, but there is almost nothing as full of raw terror and panic as full-blown alcohol withdrawal. I've undergone brutal detoxes from benzos, heroin, and methadone, but none of them is quite as terrifying- you feel like the world is collapsing on you.

At least that's been my experience.

Of course, Andre the Giant, the greatest drunkard to have ever lived, consumed 7000 calories of liquor per day, and once consumed 120 beers within 6 hours. A true god among men, but his liver on the other hand...
