Lies. Alcohol is always a solution.    

[Egan_BW]

Hilariously false.

[Kagus]

Hilariously false.

Indeed.

Alcohol is always a solvent. Not necessarily a solution in and of itself.

[wierd]

Depending on the alcohol, it's very hard to not have it be a solution of water and alcohol.  100% purity is very hard to attain.

But as they're both liquids to begin with, does that count as being "dissolved"?

[Wizard of Manaia]

Alcohol is good for sterilisation.

I recently had to stop my caffeine, had not reached the depths of addiction but I noticed a dependency, fought a few nights of restlessness and constant waking up never finding comfort. Then my dreams returned with every night and I'm able to wake up easier now.
As much as my advice will most probably go unheeded it will help with your problems.
The hardest part is the first few weeks of dropping any habit.
It might help to tell yourself that the change is not a lifetime change and becoming a 'clean' person forever etc. The exercise is to assess ones mindstates without the oppression these chemicals oppose onto our consciousness.
It may be seen as a better state to reside.
I can guarantee these fatigues you fleetingly described are symptoms of your substance abuse

[Kagus]

Could've done without the last line, mate. Depression isn't caused by caffeine. If it were, I wouldn't have it.

[Naturegirl1999]

I think “substance abuse” in this case refers to the alcohol as well

[Wizard of Manaia]

It has culminating effects, but seeing as an intelligent individual as yourself missed my point. I was referring to alcohol specifically, yet all drugs have effects that go beyond what we know, as a whole we deny the chances to truly delve these depths.
As you would know this is out of fear, but what is to be feared if not fear itself. The mind? Bah never look into the reflections and fear that light, it is the truest sense we have and to deny this is to deny the one staring back. If it wasn't dancing around us all would be black

[Kagus]

It's not always caused by alcohol either. Again, I've been depressed a hell of a lot longer than I've been drinking.

Existing depressions can absolutely be worsened by alcohol however, which is why Hans has been drastically cutting down his alcohol intake for, what... Over a year now?

[Yoink]

Hilariously false.

You fail at science.   

[Wizard of Manaia]

Do you want me to suggest something for your depression? Are you on any ssri?
I do not have a PhD though I am a Wizard.

I'd rather suggest to you that you listen to the specifics of the individual before attempting to give specific advice, as otherwise your advice may not be sensible or applicable for that individual.

And a PhD shouldn't be prescribing or suggesting SSRIs anyways. That's more of an MD thing.

Hilariously false.

You fail at science.   

Actually wierd and I were just trying to work out the semantics of this... You might be technically incorrect as much as you're technically correct. Which is a dreadful technicality!

To be honest, I'd be more inclined to take something suggested by my dog. My dog knows me, doesn't partake of any psychoactive compounds, and his only agendas are adorable things like making me spend more time with him.

[Kagus]

Dude, have you tried this kibble? Fukken wild.
