The old 'spirits are more dangerous to you than other forms of alcohol' is complete hogwash I'm afraid - but it is an irritatingly persistent belief
I almost never drank 'hard' liquor - hated it - and everything that's happened to you happened to me on beer and wine.
In fact I nearly died on beer and wine.
Alcohol is alcohol.
I could not control my intake of alcohol, any alcohol, once I started.
The only way I had to make my life better was to quit drinking completely.
I really recommend it, thevalley- life is awesome sober.
If your gf loses a drinking buddy she'll gain so much more in a sober you.
