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.

I definitely believe that; when I don’t drink I want chocolate!!! :) There is some sort of connection, though I’m not sure what.
Thank you! :)

(and I am getting to AA, a.s.a.p.)
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.
