I drank 5 beers every night, and took l0mg of paxil along with xanax for years until my first hospitalization. They put me on Chloral Hydrate for sleep and told me not to drink again. I haven't. I'm not taking the chloral hydrate anymore just valium total of l5mg a day with small dose of remeron and zoloft. I was thinking that I could probably drink again, but then I thought, I wouldn't be able to read in bed as I'd fall asleep. So I won't. To answer your question, I know many people who drink casually as you say you do and have suffered no ill effects. I have heard that it lowers the effectiveness of AD's. A drink now and then shouldn't hurt with your pdocs okay. The liver and brain do become diseased with prolonged, heavy drinking. To say what that is, is based on the individual person. Fondly, Phillipa
