I had a glass of wine with dinner tonight.

My Pdoc is not opposed to me having a drink ONCE in a while

Recreational drugs..never

There are meds in use that absolutely forbid the use of alcohol since it's very unhealthy. For 3 years from my diagnosis I continued to drink and smoke pot but my frequent hospitalizations made me realize that I had to let all that go.
As it is I see nothing wrong with having a maximum of 2 drinks, but I haven't had a drink for many years. Who needs it? Am I not messed up enough? What you choose to do is up to you.

I'm still on my first drink. I don't drink every day or anything...I just wanted to see who else admits to drinking every so often. I'm supposed to be entertaining my sister right now...but I'm off in DS land...what does that have to do with anything? I don't know.

It's a well-known scientific fact that it takes so much blah blah blah to fill the void of silence!

My typical mood is depressed. Alcohol is a depressant and toxic to the body. Hmmmm...decisions, decisions....

I drink every night

I drink occaisionally, like right now I'm having a glass of wine. I sometimes in a blue moon smoke pot, but that's it.

My dr says a couple of drinks now and then drinks are ok.

I smoked a lot of pot before I got on meds, tried it since and it had a totally different effect on me - and not a pleasant one - so I don't so it anymore. Never was a big drinker but I've tried that too since being on meds too and the same thing, the effect isn't great so I don't do it. Now if the effects were Good, I'd do it in a heartbeat.....

I am on a med right now where drinking alcohol on it could destroy my liver. So for now, no alcohol. It's a non-psychiatric drug.

Normally, I have evenings where I will do a SEX AND THE CITY marathon and booze it up but my doc doesn't like me to. He's not a Nazi about it but he did tell me he prefers his patients not use any drugs or alcohol while on their meds.

the occasional psychedelic journey.

no weed (used to eat it for my nightmares)
no booze

I don't do drugs but I must admit I drink. Don't really drink anymore but I actually have gone off my meds a few times just to keep with the alcohol.

I've been sober for 2 years, my liver is screwed from past abuse.

I do however smoke pot most days, probably just out of habit. I do find it helps with my anxiety though.

Um, I am a little weird in that I can drink like a fish and not get drunk. It has an adverse effect on me in that it gives me a migraine, so I only drink very little when I go out to a bar or club (couple beers max). And when I smoke pot all I do is cough my azz off and hardly catch the buzz. I am the cheapest date around LOL - Maria J.

I was taking Campral (sp?) 3 times a day to control cravings. I just said fuck it to all my meds altogether. Drinking booze was a lot easier than taking meds throughout the day.

Unfortunately, I drink on my meds, and although I know I am not supposed to, I ignore it because it helps numb everything. And I drank before my diagnosis. i suppose I am still self-medicating and that is something i should probably be honest with my pdoc about, which I have not had the nerve to do because I do not want to upset or disappoint him.
