Thread: Alcohol withdrawal - so scared

    Re: Alcohol withdrawal - so scared

    Beer is the best form of alcohol to use when tapering off. If you attempt to taper off using wine or hard liquor you might just wind up getting drunk again because these have higher alcohol content than beer. Try to limit yourself to drinking no more alcohol than necessary when you start tapering. Drink just enough to keep the sweats and shakes at bay. Gradually reduce the consumption of beer as you continue to taper. If the withdrawal is not too extreme you should be tapered off in a day or so. Some people may, however, take longer--three days or even a week. If you start to feel withdrawal that is a sign that your taper is not done yet. Vitamins can also help you since dring alcohol is not really good for your health.

    This is an old thread and with respect, this is just not good advice. For someone who is alcohol dependent, tapering is not an option regardless of spirit. The reason their alcohol dependent in the first place in part is a lack of self control. What's to stop someone from downing a 12 pack instead of a bottle of wine or spirits?
