Thai Health Ministry warns drinkers of alcohol withdrawal effects after Songkran

[SoilSpoil]

Those nasty Gaba receptors are at work Doc! Especially when Songkran lasts moren than a month. Free supply of diazepam will smoothen things down. Please tell me where to pick 'm up.

WhY does ministry think they would be stopping or started just for songkran?

Because for a huge percent of the population it is true. It is not directed to kee mao, but to the many laborers who drink on nights off, and then do the typical binge twice a year for New Years and Songkran. This year was especially the case with Songkran running Mon-Wed.

The best cure is valium.

I personally find a bloody mary does the trick.

And don't run with scissors!

What a bunch of Besserwisser moron replies to this one. Alcohol withdrawal is the only withdrawal that can actually result in death, and a 3 day binge can put people at risk of many dangerous and unpleasant symptoms.

Ridiculing the replies to this article would make more sense than ridiculing the article itself.

On a plus pint, most of the responders are probably not alcoholics.

When over indulging in a dangerous substance one tries to make a joke of it. It is often denial of being dependent on it.

True : hetoin withdrawal is less dangerous than alcohol withdrawal.

How much alcohol must one drink in order to obtain the hallucination effect. I usually see double but never hallucinate.

Then explain why when I drink I often go home with a beautiful girl, but wake up with an ugly one.

[HeijoshinCool]

Seriously, Doc?

Nothing else to do?

.

Actually, no.

I hear people talking about Thais being big drinkers but I find that compared to back in Australia where the vast majority of people I know are very heavy drinkers, most Thais I know either don't drink at all, or just drink socially.

Thais are much bigger drinkers than Ozzies. When I drank there I was amazed that so many drank 'lite' beer. What's the point of that?

IN Isarn, the number of alkies is similar to Scotland and nearly as bad as Finland or Estonia(the 2 worst ones I've lived in)
