It's so strange . I watch videos like the one you posted and I see alcohol as the absolute devil and as such a hideous, evil substance and yet on my way home from work today, I walked past people merrily gulping down their pints of beer or sipping on their glasses of wine like it was the most innocent, care free experience in the world. Somehow, I can't seem to reconcile these two very different images of alcohol in my mind...

Thanks for posting this. Was a much needed reminder of where this thing can take us.

i never had a seizure, but that's providence rather than design.

the last few times i drank the withdrawals got progressively worse. waking up vomiting. puking bile and blood. burst blood vessels in my eyes. audio hallucinations. collapsing, alone in my flat, on a failed trip to the kitchen to get water that i couldn't keep down anyway. feeling my heart beating out of my chest and being convinced i was going to stroke out and die.

just typing that gives me the horrors. i can never drink again, and i'm pretty happy about that.
