Girlpower, are you being deliberratly obtuse?

I was saying that a regular drinker who drank heavily would, if he required a benzodiazepine, would already have some aquired tolorance, so a benzo would effect him less if he took it when sober, say if he drank at night and went into the hiospital for an endoscopy, its likely that the usual 10mg of Valium wouldnt sedate him as much as it would in a non drinker.

I wasnt sugesting someone who had drunk 2 bottles of wine would need 6mg of Xanax

There is cross tolorance between benzos and alcohol is the point I was trying to make, if you're tolorant to benzos, you weill be partly tolorant to alsool, if you're an alcoholic, you will need higher than normal doses of benzo
