> . . . and to talk of benzos as having a similar effect to alcohol - you've got to be joking. Alcohol is like a sledge hammer compared to them. There's also virtually no euphoria compared to alcohol. This reminds me of AA "solid alcohol" talk. When I challenged them they said the chemical structure was similar. Well CO is chemically similar to CO2, but their properties are quite different
I know what you mean; but the brain is affected by the same substance on the same receptors; could it be that alcohol being in liquid form is absorbed quickly and immediately, going directly to the brain in a shorter period of time than the pill form?
