There is a doctor who postulated that alcoholics are hypoglycemic. In other words, they suffer from low blood sugar. When an alcoholic starts to feel depressed, he takes a drink. The sugar in the alcohol makes him feel better, temporarily, because it raises his blood sugar level.

I will suggest two things:

1) get to AA

2) carry some hard candy in your pocket.

Thank you! :)

not necessarily. that is way too simplistic.

if they were hypoglycemic you’d think they’d all be drinking cokes, pepsis, mountain dews or jolt colas. hell of a lot cheaper than booze. and the body would feel better b/c of the sugar.

that ain’t the reason.
