[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So sorry for you and your children's loss.

You don’t mention the usual crashed cars, lost jobs, lost friends, blackout apologies and mortifying moments that most of us think of when it comes to alcoholism. I think of how much someone would have to drink to wreck ther internal organs and I can’t put it together with what you’re telling us.  
Was he otherwise fully functioning? [/quote]

OP, I’m sorry you’re getting these pushback posts. I am so sorry for your loss and appreciate you opening people’s eyes that this is how alcoholism can present. [/quote]

All the people on this thread pushing back need to take a long, hard look at their own alcohol use. Needing to argue it's not a problem is a massive red flag for a problem.[/quote]
I am not one of these posters, but wish there was more out there on what an ok level actually is /the effects at each level. I know people will say any is too much, but that is just not going to happen for a good amount of people. At what level do the really serious effects occur?[/quote] It's a roll of the dice. It's that simple. There is no quantifiable safe amount. People who drank far less than I did had to go to detox centers because they had seizures going cold turkey. My detox was relatively easy  and I didn't have any of the horrible symptoms that can happen when you abruptly quit. If you're asking this question, the only answer is that you should stop drinking.
