Lord Eden..
Please do not give medical advice as to who needs medical intervention detox, or not:
Doing 'it' without 'help' is not a badge of honor or sign of strength for some folks.
You (and I) do not know this person's medical/drinking history.
I know your hearts in the right place, and you speak from experience,
as do I.
I drank long and hard enough to develope what's known as,
'reverse tolerance.'
The poignancy in this thread has become tangible.
My inherent hermitage bent,
facilitates further isolation and justification behaviors when it involves the drink.
I (and many of my brethren) have tried to self-medicate depression away,
by imbibing a depressent.
No go.
