VERY good idea! Hopefully that won't be necessary.

Are you having the 12 beers the day before you
start Nardil as a sort of 'farewell to beer' party? If not, are you sure you won't have
trouble resisting beer once you start Nardil?
>>>>> Vomiting from withdrawal from alcohol? I've never vomited, or even passed out from drinking.<<<<I'm not a mind reader; I was just wondering if
THE NURSE friend thought that withdrawal from alcohol might make you vomit. Never passed out
from drinking? Lucky you...I've done it more times
than I can remember. That was before the MAOI I'm on helped me. Now I never drink to excess or even
want to.>>>>Old? You're only coming on 56.<<<<

One of those tough Gyreens, eh? I know one
'Nam Marine who recently turned 70, and two
of his sons who were in the Marines during
the 1980's.Vietnam....those bad old days.
