Alcohol Misuse

My friend believes she drank 2 bottles of white wine hard every night for 10 years, she is sober in the day? how could it be? should not she dead now?

It must be a problem no matter how healthy and normal, it seems. People who suffer from alcohol abuse and drunk for a long period of time to get used to the effects of alcohol. This is why some people choose to increase the volume or the percentage to get the effect they need and want. Your friend seems to be stuck in a rut is to continue to drink even if it is to give an effect or not. Just tell them on the question whether it is safe to only 2 bottles a night, this amount is enough to recognize they have a problem. The alcohol in his system even show that it exceeds the limit, the fact that she runs well and looks sober is an oversight.

You can not tell someone they have a problem they themselves have to admit, which may or may not occur.

If you are worried there are places people can go if they are worried about someone and they can tell you how best to approach your friend.

Good Luck

Yes it's true, some people are genetically livers much more tolerant to large amounts of alcohol than others, I think as the years go on the body adapts so it takes more alcohol plus get this feeling drunk, I guess, even if it appears througfhout sober the day she can still fail a breath test that the drink is around 24 hours in the system, and it can feel very good but I bet his answers and actions are a little late if it was really simple. I guess if shes still young, still as could harm vital organs in the elderly and reduce its lifetime, the body is still able to repair itself before the age of 30-35 after that you need take care of your health

It is possible. My mother drinks a lot more than that and is still quite fit and well - but never on an empty stomach. Some people seem to be able to drink more and not be too severely affected, where another person can drink or smoke much less and die. I know this is not fair, but I think it's down to genes and metabolism. Do not his match though. You might not be so lucky!

if she eats when she is drinking, it should be ok.

Hijacking? Absolutely. Your friend needs AA

If she eats properly and has enough sleep, you can spend years without you.

My mother was an alcoholic who drank 2 or 3 liters per night. She lived to age 80 - even though she died falling down the stairs in a stupor. The autopsy revealed damage to the brain and liver of alcohol.

No - I know someone who drinks more than every night, and she has done for about 20 years! She smokes too! Do not seem to affect the next day either!

shes well prabably not very healthy, but many people come through a bottle of alcohol per day

so it is obviously sober throughout the day because the effects of alcohol would have dissipated in the nite ... But yes it may seem shocking that people can survive drinking toxic amounts of alcohol. Winston Churchill was a prime example: every morning with his breakfast he had a bottle of champagne and he drank the night is guaranteed and only three hours of sleep a night, but it is perhaps one of greatest leaders of the 20th century. RESPECT! lol
