I agree with Fandy. Definitely talk to your primary care. There is no reason to make detoxing any more difficult than it has to be. Also, why not stay in and get some food delivered instead? Get a pizza and watch a movie or something. Again, why make it harder on yourself by going somewhere that has alcohol? Good luck! You are obviously very smart and insightful. What advice would you give to a loved one in the same position? You sure as hell wouldn't pour a drink down his/her throat. So treat yourself the same as you'd treat that loved one.
