I don't know what to add to zinco's post, as I think the response hits the nail on the head & asks a pertinent question about why you can't take meds. While it's up to you to decide if you have a drinking problem, I'd be concerned if I were drinking as much as you are. In addition to causing all kinds of other problems, alcohol loosens our inhibitions. Are you sure there's no connection between your drinking sprees & your SI? Just a question...
