I meant for those non physically dependent. How much were you drinking though, and how long did it take for physical withdrawal symptoms to start materializing? I feel like I wouldn't even know what alcohol withdrawal would feel like (though I am of course aware of the symptom set). My only reference would be benzo withdrawal (with which im intimately familiar)...I suppose my real question is, how much and how frequently do you have to drink to begin feeling symptoms of physical alcohol withdrawal? Ive drank 5-8 drinks a night for years and feel like ive never experienced physical alcohol withdrawal symptoms...My conceptualization of it is that it only starts to materialize after you supply the bloodstream with a steady state of etoh and then cut it off (ie., start drinking in the morning, and continue doing so). Curious what your experience has been however...
I was drinking about 5-6 bottles of wine a day and would take about 4 hours after my last drink before withdrawal start
