Please remember she is sick, she suffers from a disease in the center of her mind. Drinking is but a symptom of her disease, it is just the tip of the iceburg. There is a imbalance in her. There is hope! Take her to a detox center, let her take a week to get over the effects of th alcohol in her system, she needs to stabalize, then to recognize her condition. If she can understand that she is powerless over alcohol, she can start a life long journey, one day at a time, to permenent sobriety. A A is the only way she is going to learn the tools she needs to do this. You need to get help as well, Alonon is were you need to be, to learn your tools to recovery. A A was wrote by two people in 1939, since then over two million people have recovered thru this program. 120 different self help groups have been formed using A A principles. A A is in over 100 countries, and has published millions of books, they are very cheap to buy. These numbers are growing every day, it must be doing something right. What do you have to lose? Try it. Remember she is sick, and you would not pinch the I.V. line keeping her alive at the hospital, right?

I think it might take longer than over night to see a big difference in alcohol concentration but alcohol has a lower vapor pressure than water so it will vaporize faster.

Somebody told me when you drink wine, what you're really drinking is toxins. So, lookit yourself as a different type of container what can't hold da contents.

Beyond a shadow of a doubt..the pot head.\n\nYour question is biased. An alcoholic is assumed do be pretty deep into the slavery of the bottle. While a drug user could be just about anyone who went to college. Why not a “pot addict” compared to the alcoholic or a casual drinker compared to a casual pot smoker. In my book pot and beer are about the same damn thing. So if it’s a hard spirits kind-a drunk I’d rather be with the stoner. Besides “pot-heads” vomit a lot less than drunks.

I hate to say this but you can't deal with alcoholics.  When they reach rock bottom and have lost everything maybe then they will want help, but until then you're wasting your time.

An alcoholic is some one that drinks for the sole purpose of getting drunk!\nThat's me! I don't drink socially. When I drink I don't stop till I am drunk! I used to avoid hangovers by staying drunk!\n3 years of my life was wasted!\nThere is a time and place for every thing, now when I drink I am at home with family and/or good friends so that when I am falling down drunk, they put me to bed. That way I can't hurt myself or anyone else! I don't crave it any more like when I was younger, but that took a few years!\nAs for an addict, I think that is some one that has a physical dependence on some thing like I did when I was avoiding a hangover. I also know people that cannot function without their "fix" whether it be alcohol or some other drug. While they are using they are the best at what they do, but without it they can't even make a complete sentence, walk or hold themselves upright!\nI also agree with the person above that pointed out that it does not have to be a drug, it can be a feeling. Thus being totally psycological or being addicted to the chemicals produced in our bodies.\nREMEMBER, you are the only one who can change you!\nHelp is just that, HELP! The real changes are made because YOU want them!\nThat's MY point of view.

When you get really intoxicated you can actually start to talk to spirits. \n\nI have seen a drunk man speaking to his glass of scotch for 2 hours straight, and having some heated discussions. They don't respond to you unless you have sufficient amount of it in your blood stream.\n\n...Then, almost magically, you can hear them talk.\n\nAnd oh yes, they do things for you. Guide you and your car into the lamppost for enlightenment. Put you into bed with the ugliest person in the world.\n\nAnd if you try to communicate with them long and hard enough they send you the small insects that crawl on your skin.

Alcohol can release your inhibitions, so you need to honestly ask yourself if you ever have these feelings when you are sober. It could be that you are having these thoughts and repressing them, or it could be that you are getting too carried away when drinking. If you have these thoughts after a few drinks, you may want to question who you are sexually attracted to. If you are having these thoughts when stumbling drunk, you may want to question how much you drink.

They behave this way because they are redundantly stupid, idiotic, morons and think being drunk is a good excuse for their actions later on after they've sobered up and come back to the real world. \n\nPeople who can't handle their liquor should be fired from the human race, or flogged publicly at least.

This is true. People are more comfortable expressing their feelings if they are drunk or a little tipsy. It takes the edge off. Usually when people are drunk, they tend to tell the truth.

the reality about being drunk is that their thoughts are more spontaneous.. they dont think.. they become more aggressive and daring... that which most often than not an escape goat for them to unleash their hidden feelings and emotions..... you can equate it from the freudian theory that slip of the tounge is something half meant...... i do not encourage you to believe him,,, however the fact of the matter is you know whats in his mind..... although tomorrow he's reunited with reality and may pretend that he totally forgot and do not remember such a thing....

it is a way to release energy - sexual and otherwise - in a place where you will not be judged.  also, everyone else is so drunk nobody will likely remember!

Women and males when drunk both of them become stubborn, stupid, incoherent, and the list can go on.\nBut there is a little difference: most males stay stubborn, stupid, incoherent,etc. in their sober state.

Drug addicts and alcoholics suffer from a disease. This disease usually results in consequences which are socially repugnant. At some point, these people have an insight to the fact that continued indulgence in drugs/alcohol will not be tolerated and will inevitably destroy them and all that's around them (true)-they then make a choice to keep going or get help. It is hard to sympathize with them unless they try to change. A couple of outstanding features of addiction is incredible selfishness as well as an amazing capacity to manipulate others. If we hand someone the "Victim" label, they will most likely run with it and use it to their own end. The stats are bleak for recovery.
