Wow, thanks for the numerous responses. I am experiencing heroin WD's.
Yeah, I agree with mostly everything stated here.....thats why I specified "temporarily" in the title. Because all booze is good for when going through opiate withdrawals is a very fleeting moment of reprise and relief. I definitely wasn't talking about substituting one for the other, as I abhor alcohol after getting accustomed to much better hard drugs. (not proud of that, heh).
Still, its odd that it provides even those fleetings moments of relief because it definitely does......I haven't drank enough to experience a hangover since July, btw, which I still partially credit to a very intense mushroom trip. I downed pretty much an entire fifth of ancient age whiskey (Ugh!) and of course got sick as fuck and then decided after I had slept my hangover off to eat some potent-ass mushrooms.....lol!!! It was a mistake, I should have waited a bit and ate more nourishing food but alas I am derailing this thread now, lol.
Thanks again everyone for some very on point responses.
