I drank a lot during the summer,and then came round sepmtember,my
drinking pace slowed down from drinking everyday too drinking every
weekend.Then I went from the rare case of vomiting(at night)to the very
common case of having a few drinks,having a slight buzz but have a bad
hangover in the morning(or afterwards)along with puking and the whole
she-bang.Now I noticed,just yesterday,that my gag reflex acted up just
after a beer,but i didn't have enough (hardly any alcohol in me)for this to
make sense and stayed like that until 12:00 pm the next day

I love drinking,a little to much,but now I'm quite sad that i can't even
handle one of my favourite drink,beer.

I don't feel the need to drink all the time,but I do wish I could expirience
the wonderful affects of alcohol once in awhile.
If there is a cure for these seeming symptoms of alcohol intolerance
pleeeease let me know as soon as possible Crying or Very sad

My husband is an alcoholic. He and I tried everything including psychiatries and family counselors. They introduced AA meeting. That is the only cure for your substance addiction.

Alcoholism is a chronic, progressive and potentially fatal illness whose essential features include impaired control of drinking along with continued use of alcohol despite harmful consequences. Alcoholism is common and occurs in about one out of every ten persons in the general population. People of Northern European ancestry e.g. Irish, English and French, and Native Americans are at higher risk to develop alcoholism. Family history is a strong predictor of alcoholism because of an inherited predisposition. Alcoholism tends to cluster in families and it occurs at increased rates even when the children are raised by adoptive parents without alcohol problems suggesting a genetic influence to the illness. People who work in jobs that include access to alcohol on the job, co-worker pressure to drink, minimal supervision, high job stress, or a lack of routine may have an increased risk of alcoholism. There is often a history of alcohol related problems such as drunk driving arrests or relationship or job difficulties. A person with alcoholism may often be in denial about the presence or seriousness of their illness and might display joking or anger when the subject is brought up or might change the topic to avoid discussing an alcohol problem.

Most adults are light drinkers. About 35% abstain, 55% drink fewer than three alcoholic drinks a week, and only 10% consume one ounce or more of alcohol a day. The prevalence of drinking is highest in the 21-34 year age range. Most alcohol is consumed by a small percentage of people: 10% of drinkers consume 50% of the total amount of alcohol consumed. There are three main patterns of alcoholism. The first consists of regular daily intake of a consistent amount of alcohol; the second, of regular heavy drinking limited to weekends; the third, of long periods of sobriety interspersed with binges of daily heavy drinking lasting for days or weeks or months. It is a mistake to associate any one of these particular patterns exclusively with alcoholism. There may be recurrent use of alcohol in situations where it is physically hazardous e.g. driving while intoxicated. The person with alcoholism may decide to take only one drink but after taking the first drink continues to drink until severely intoxicated. The alcoholic may recognize that the drinking behavior is excessive and may have attempted to reduce or control it but has been unable to do so. There may be a persistent desire or one or more unsuccessful attempts to cut down or control drinking. Sometimes the alcoholic may wish to reduce or control drinking but has never actually made an effort to do so. A great deal of time is often spent in activities surrounding alcohol either drinking it or recovering from its effects. The alcoholic may suffer intoxication or withdrawal symptoms particularly when expected to fulfill major role obligations at work, school or home. There may be absenteeism because of being hung over or going to work or school intoxicated or driving while under the influence of alcohol. Social, occupational or recreational activities are given up or reduced because of alcohol use. The alcoholic may withdraw from family activities and hobbies in order to spend more time with drinking buddies or to drink in private. The person with alcoholism continues to drink despite social, psychological and physical problems caused by alcohol. Significant tolerance may develop which is a markedly diminished effect with continued use of the same amount of alcohol. The alcoholic may drink increased amounts of alcohol in order to achieve intoxication or the desired effect. Characteristic withdrawal symptoms develop when the alcoholic stops or reduces the intake of alcohol and the alcoholic begins drinking again in order to relieve or avoid those symptoms. This may involve drinking throughout the day beginning soon after awakening.

Alcoholism is often associated with use of other psychoactive drugs including marijuana or cocaine. Alcoholism is often associated with depression and anxiety. The mortality rate of alcoholics is two to three times that of the general population. Alcohol abuse is the third most frequent cause of birth defects in the United States. Most people are unaware that the first symptoms of alcohol abuse are usually social problems with relationships, work or the law. Many persons do not know that more than 25% of people who abuse alcohol will become alcohol dependent and that entering treatment before irreversible social and physical consequences of alcohol abuse occur improves their likelihood of recovery.
