I'm not a big drinker .... Only really drink in social gatherings & such. Maybe a couple drinks once every couple months maybeee. When I was hypo manic a few weeks back I was drinking everynight and it kept starting earlier. Now I'm in semi -depressive state, I have no desire to drink. In fact I have the 1/2 bottle of absolute in the house from a cple weeks ago untouched lol.
