Hi HalloweenSkye: Hey... happy birthday!!! I gave up drinking years ago while I was first on antidepressants. During intervening years when I was back off of them again, I took up casual drinking again. I never really drank to excess in general. But, what I would do was if something went wrong... say at work for example... then I'd get snockered that evening.

At this point, I'm no longer on psych med's. But I don't drink at all either. I can't afford it... water is cheaper. Personally I don't think there's anything wrong with drinking in moderation. I LOVE the taste of almost all alcoholic drinks (except I'm not a big beer fan.) Just please try to take it easy... okay?
