Alcohol

[iNsom]

Hey folks,
Any other drinkers out there?
I drink alcohol now and again, I'm not an alcoholic but I do sometimes drink to excess.
I'd say on average I drink twice a week, usually on a Friday and / or a Saturday and sometimes a weeknight. 
I have such a love/hate relationship with alcohol right now! 

I love the taste of a nice cold pint, I love the feeling of having absolutely no anxiety (albeit temporarily)
I love how social it makes everyone......etc, etc.

I hate "the fear" the next day, I hate how easy a £/$/€ 50 night can turn into a £/$/€ 200 night, I hate the fact that it's extremely unhealthy......etc, etc.

I've been contemplating stopping drinking altogether. I think that would definitely be beneficial when I eventually do start to taper off Diazepam.  The rebound anxiety a hangover brings can be crippling for me and sometimes means I end up having to have a whole 10mg Diazepam tablet the morning after and another in the afternoon, rather than my usual half (5mg) in the morning and afternoon. 
That's probably what I hate the most about it!

So yeah, just a random topic to see other peoples thoughts on the beautiful, evil alcohol.
