[QUOTE="DarkwingPsyduck, post: 686165, member: 20267"] Alcoholism is more devastating to the body than most other substances. To the liver, the brain, everything. People actually die from going cold turkey with it. Benzos are very similar in that regard. I will say that, for me, I ONLY ever drank when I didn't have my drug of choice. When I did have my stuff, alcohol would only have dimmed the sensation of my drug. I imagine the reason most drunks don't turn to other substances when out of booze is because NOTHING can even begin to take the place of the alcohol. Not only with they be horribly ill, no amount of pot is gonna help. It is also very dangerous to mix ANYTHING with the alcohol and/or benzos. Then again, I am not a drunk... And there are noticeable differences in the thinking and behavior between a drunk and a pill popper, just don't really have a good answer for why that is. Like I said, I didn't have a problem with booze. I was a social, recreational drinker. I don't drink now, however. I don't know how I would react to it, and I am afraid to find out. Don't want to mess with what I know is working for something that may very well screw it all up. Not worth the risk, I suppose. [/QUOTE]
