help with family member acholic

[Lignum]

she tried to do herself in by drinking 7 botels of burbin,

7 - Not wanting to trivialise the thread, but 7 bottles

The heaviest of heaviest drinkers would have passed out after 2.

yep lucky number 7, no kidding, over about 3 days or so, the evidence was found in her room, and about 4 days earlier she was in hospital, and her room was clean,she came home and straight into it, so there you go, maybe a record breaker there...


...update....things don't look good

We are thinking of you La Huerta.

I have had some experience with friends who have had the problem and some still have the problem.

Seven bottles to me would have seemed far excessive a few years ago but I know of people who were experiencing chronic alcoholic problems and compared to them she is a two pot screamer! A dozen bottles of Vodka in a few days - it doesn't seem to affect them like it would other people apart from doing untold damage to their livers.

These people unfortunately did not pull through.

Please remember that it is the actions and words of the alcohol in this case and not those of the person with the addiction.

I think her underlying problems need to be sorted out along with drinking as suggested by Wendy.
