I stopped at 23. I was killing myself with upwards of 750-1000ml of vodka every day. On an average low use day I was still nearing that 750ml mark. I was nearly declined a bed at detox until they did a urinalysis where they found extremely high levels of alcohol metabolites and signs of liver damage. They immediately gave me intake and held me for six days on a steady diet of valium, clonidine, and decent food. The nightmares were terrifying and the sleep was horrible, I must have been close to drowning in my sweat. I no longer drink.
