ANYONE who chooses to consume alcohol while on antidepressant and other psych meds like antipsychotics or benzos has AUD.

If you are in a relationship with someone that thinks it’s ok to go to clubs etc and consume alcohol and hang in these social scenes has a problem and often they engage with others that also have a problem and enable them. These individuals are NOT friends. Instead they just want to be around others that drink, drug, and party and embrace discarding self awareness.

When someone is on antidepressants like Cymbalta for example it is hard for their liver to filter out toxins. If a person chooses to consume alcohol as well that is hard for the liver to filter often causing damage to the liver it increases developing liver disease.

People who have AUD notoriously prefer to practice denial that they have a problem. They can get nasty and quite mean towards anyone suggesting they have a problem.

DO NOT ENABLE this person. This kind of person likes to blame everyone else and can become quite mean and narcissistic.

It’s very much like a narcissist with flying monkeys when it comes to these social scenes built around using alcohol and other drugs.
