I can only speak for myself but I drank anywhere from 14 to 24 beers a night when I had the money to do so and sadly I did that for years.

I will be 48 soon and I'm in pretty decent health but 28 days ago I went cold turkey. Stopped drinking and smoking at the same time but I only smoked when I drank so giving up smoking wasn't a big deal.

Again, I can only speak for myself but I've not had a single issue with going cold turkey. Yes, my body is still going through withdraw even though I'm sleeping well, eating well and feeling great my body is still adjusting. Prior to going cold turkey I went on a good two week bender where I was drinking 22/24 beers a night. With all that said I've not had any sort of seizure and I've had no desire to drink either.

I will not drink with you today.
