    Not even close. 4 drink base-line does not need to be medically managed. Two day sweat out and you’re reset. You could even have 2 beers the second night and still reset to 0 within the two days.

    You don’t hit medically managed territory till your at a bottle or liquor everyday for more than a few days territory.

      Excuse me, NO, this is deadly medical misinfo. Detox is individualized, first and foremost. We don’t know what an individual patient is going to experience when they detox or what complications they could have.

      Furthermore, we have no idea what this person is drinking in a day. All we know is that they’re having two to four times the alcohol than the average person drinks when they get sent to detox while drinking in the mornings before their appts with me. 4 just to get to baseline is indicative of severe use disorder, though we cant tell without more info.

      You have to remember, someone drinking four drinks in the middle of work is easily drinking “a bottle” a day as-is. Work is when they tone it DOWN.
