[QUOTE="AnnieO, post: 329947, member: 6705"] Loth - the sugar - be careful with that. I have my own little story to add... One night last September I went up to BFF's. No kids, just him, his wife and another friend. H (wife) got really drunk. J (friend) was pretty far gone. BFF was doing shots - I had one bottle of Smirnoff Ice and half a shot (don't really like Southern Comfort). Over about 4 hours. I can't say how drunk he was, but more so than I was. I was probably legal to drive, but I don't drive when I drink - because I have a very low tolerance and when I'm flat out drunk I'm probably very close to the legal limit. I also cannot stop after a couple of drinks. So I don't drink much. I was the most sober person there. Swear it. Learned a long time ago not to get blackout-plastered. Two days later, BFF was borderline suicidal and was almost checked into a hospital for suicidal ideation. It was not a good scene. Of course, this is the same day Onyxx bit a teacher, so I could not be there for them - husband was at work. Drove me nuts all evening. Fortunately H kept me updated via text messages. FFWD to mid November - BFF is diagnosed bipolar. I think you have a very, very good point. Going to show this post to BFF and H. Keep in mind that this man has a plethora of health issues as well - high blood pressure, cholesterol and is an insulin-dependent diabetic. Add all those to alcohol - whew. He thinks he's an alcoholic - I think there's more or less to it than that. However, the sugar he ingested could have had a bit to do with it as well. I don't know. [/QUOTE]
