IS really such a condtion as DRY DRUNK ?

I have heard this term used to make fun of the president . He abused alcohol and claimed to have found god at the age of 40 and stopped .
Some who disagree with him call him a Dry Drunk a pergorative used in AA to describe a person who does not use alcohol but is not a AA member.

I wonder if Dry Drunk does not fit closer to Anti social personality disorder.

Why does one have to attend AA to stop drinking or moderate when 95 % of those who go to AA leave in a year and most heavy drinkers stop or moderate on thier own How can Not going to AA be used s a diagnostic criteria or a disorder?
AA is but one of many ways to stop or moderate .

3 fedral courts have found AA to be religion the Supream court let stand a ruling it is . .
So why is not going to a relgious service a disorder ?
The Serneity Prayer is a distinctly Christain prayer that has be atributed to a few different people one being Reinhold Niebuhr , se this you migh hav to register http://www.boston.com/news/globe/ideas/articles/2003/12/14/beyond_serenity/

To say AA is not a religion is like saying that Ben an Jerries is not an ice cream
You might not like them or thier produicts but they in fact make ice cream

I a still thik it is perogative used to mean a person is not drinkoing and not in a 12 step porgram I have had heard it used NBy 12 steppers in reffence to members of SMART SOS. and others .

Why should 12 steppers be concerned that others have found a way to abstainwoith puit AA /NA GA Ad nauseam .
It still seems like perogative used to make fun of a person who has not totalty devoted thier lives to a 12 step religigiouis program. which leads me to a ne qeustion to ask thanks again and RaySNY keep up the goodwrok

When dieting, what is the least devastating alcoholic beverage to your diet?

I have received mixed reviews in my research. Some say a light beer. Others say a single liquor on the rocks, or a diet soda and liquor. I dont care for soda, so… Any answers out there?
To avoid answers insisting that I stay away from alcohol: I am just trying to eat healthier, not trying to go nazi. I am one to usually divulge in Guiness, Martinis and tons of heavy beer FYI… So im just looking for lower CAL options.

Am I a crazy insane person?

I live in the American Garden Buildings on West Eighty-First Street, on the eleventh floor. My name is John Sophminela. I am twenty-six years old. I believe in taking care of myself, in a balanced diet, in a rigorous exercise routine. In the morning, if my face is a little puffy, I’ll put on an ice pack while doing my stomach crunches. I can do a thousand now.

After I remove the icepack, I use a deep pore-cleanser lotion. In the shower, I use a water-activated gel cleanser, then a honey-almond body scrub, and on the face an exfoliating gel scrub. Then I apply an herb mint facial masque which I leave on for ten minutes while I prepare the rest of my routine.

I always use an after-shave lotion with little or no alcohol because alcohol dries your face out and makes you look older. Then moisturizer, then an anti-aging eye balm, followed by a final moisturizing "protective" lotion.

There is an idea of a John Sophminela, some kind of abstraction, but there is no real me, only an entity, something illusory, and though I can hide my cold gaze and you can shake my hand and feel flesh gripping yours and maybe you can even sense our lifestyles are probably comparable: I simply am not there.

Can a person with (FAS) Fetal Alcohol Syndrome be almost genius level?

I have a friend who I suspect has FAS because of her appearance – her face looks like pictures of people with FAS. I also suspect this because her mother was always drunk in her ealiest stages of pregnancy. Yet my friend is tall and super intelligent. Is it possible she only got a few FAS features? Doesn’t seem very likely now that I think of it.

Also, wasn’t it a widespread fact during the late 60′s that alcohol was bad for pregnant women? She says people didn’t know back then. I think they did.

i have some questions about substance abuse?

What substance causes depression, anxiety and insomnia? What is it called when physical and behavioral abnormalities in fetus if mother uses alcohol during pregnancy? What is the stage in which the liver can not repair itself? High doses of what drug can cause suffocation by displacing the oxygen in the lungs and CNS?

What if people could control aging without drugs?

Recently I’ve noticing people who are growing older, and they seems to be very uncomfortable with the changes in themselves. Some become gym addicts but the exercise systems can only do so much. The anti aging drugs are fake has anyone got any ideas beside alcohol ?
