Oh, I remember the times I drank on top of a bad cold or flu: a little whiskey will help me get to sleep, etc, etc. I would drink the whole bottle, then another, then another. I don't know how many times I extended the misery of colds and flus by drinking.....I would undoubtedly have recovered much faster without the alcohol. But it was a perfect set up. I could hang around drunk all day and tell my husband I was sick, and because I was sick I could tell myself I wasn't lying.

If you are in the middle of a binge, is there a student health center you can go to for help? Tell them what is happening and they might help you with both your illness and bringing the binge to an end.

Have you visited a doctor and discussed your drinking? Do you have any kind of program? You mention that you are socially active and have a lot of support from friends, have you tried an young people's AA meetings? (YPAA)
