This is exactly the topic I was looking for when signing up this morning. I need 4 beers or shots by 10am to even mildly stave off the shakes. I'm on 20-30 drinks a day, after 2 hours sleep sometimes even I wake up in full body shakes and have to pick up a beer that I keep next to my bed; but that's at the worst of it. At the moment I can manage the 6 hours sleep before I need one. This is my first post, it must be a horrible introduction.
To add for that I was queueing outside the store this morning at 8am to wait for it to open to get 2 cans of strong white cider( nasty but cheap stuff). In my area in london, more disturbingly, there are about 3 other people queueing next to me for the same thing.
