Edit: Thanks for your comments, particularly people that described when/how drinking progressed. There is a greater benefit than I appreciated from taking 2-3 days off every week. This appears to apply to MY drinking as well (3-8 beers the days I drink, ~25/wk).

Perhaps I'll say DT's next time rather than WD's

A couple people responded to just the title rather than the post but oh well. Have a good day everyone :)

Like drinking 750mL of vodka every evening or a 12-pack

Was just talking with someone adamant about taking days off drinking to prevent wd's. I totally agree drinking 5-6 days a week is better than 7, but I've never actually heard of anyone that was a //nightly// drinker who had full on wd's. It was almost always following a period of at least a few drinks in the morning/through the day and heavily at night or something. I think being drunk for multiple days straight is more risky, not that anything in that ballpark is really safe.

Mostly just curious.
