uh,

substitution?

[Ayay]

I think alcolisism is defined when the consumption of alcohol interferes with your daily life. If that is the case then any remedy is worth while.

Somebody said they preferred to be a drunkard....alcoholics have to go to all them meetings

[Sour Masher]

I'm certainly an alchoholic by all but the interfering with life definition.

I drink every day.

And have done for long time...decades...


I just don't have all the alchohol controlling my life issues, like having sickies, hiding alchohol, drinking at inappropiate times ect.

[maoule]

I don't have any problem with alcohol, it's without that creates issues for me

[junkyard dawg]

I think I'd have more problems with the daily dose of muscle relaxers...

[Dnderhead]

I don't have a alcohol problem---- ---Mite be one if I had to buy -- but I make my own -- and can make all I want .

I've checked Wikipedia for the drug cited in the article, and it works by stimulating the same set of neuroreceptors that ethanol does, the GABA receptors.

So it's literally substituting one drug for another.

I've seen ad's for this book... Baclofen kinda sounds like an alcoholics version of methadone...

"I have no drinking problem... I drink... I get drunk... I fall down... No problem..."
