curious as to herbal concentrates

Just read that one of the ones I just started using (California Poppy) happens to be alcohol based :-\ how much damage would 20-30 drops be to me ??

I often use a deodorant that's alcohol based and it's never bothered me.

If it bothers you, stop using it AW - if not, I think no worries

Depends. Do they drive you to drink? If not, they're ok. Unless you get addicted to those, which is something to be careful about.

I tend to stay away from things that are not scientifically verified btw, but that's just me.

But you should be able to handle it. It contains alcohol. But it's a different context. Some of the best meals I've ever had contained alcohol and I'd still eat them. It's just not drinking.

To add: you can't avoid alcohol at all times. The context is what matters imo.

Well I'm not concerned about using it as much wondering since I'm still feeling the withdrawal would it drag it out longer ?? Scientific proof or not, it has been helping me . not much but some..

I'm not a Dr or a scientist. Anecdotal evidence only I'm afriad LOL

If it concerns you maybe don't use the stuff until you feel the withdrawals over?
