I drank quite a bit over the summer (and last school year, for that matter), so I'm trying to give my liver a break, and let my tolerance go down (I'm tired of going through 10 bucks worth of liquor every night I want to get drunk). I haven't had a drink since Sunday and I'm curious how long I should refrain. 2 weeks? 3?

The longer the better I suppose. I would rather just drink anyway though, just less frequently.

Your liver is probably in good shape anyway. How much were you drinking?

I used to drink 4 double vodka and oranges in 30 minutes every afternoon (I had a 30 minute gap after I arrived before my shift would start) everyday for like 2 years. That's excluding what I do drink anyway. I probably go through 6-7 beers (500ml cans, 5% volume) per day.

I imagine you'll be ok .

i'd say about 4-6 weeks would be perfect for lowering your tolerance

alcohol raises my blood pressure.
it's been high in the upper digits for the last few years.
i thought about quiting.i probally should for the better.

Two words, Home Distillery.
I brew up 1-2 gallons a week, for about $6

I feel sorry for people who don't drink. When they wake up in the morning, that's as good as they're going to feel all day.

Your liver should start recovering after 48 hours of no booze, if you want to give it a little help head down a health shop and get some milk thistle extract, stay off the liquor for a few weeks, drink a lot of herbal teas and you should be fine.

drinking is...pretty lame...
