Can you answer Alexander R’s question about Addiction?:
Over the past few years I’ve been a heavy drinker. When I stop altogether for a few days I get bags and black patches under my eyes and altogether look like crap. If I start drinking again it all goes away and I look fine.

Is this what happens when the alcohol leaves your body? How long does this last? Is it normal?

Addiction Feedback: yes its normal and you also won’t ruin your liver and be shaky if you already aren’t that is, its 4am here and i started drinking already.
Addiction Feedback: I would say that is most likely normal that you are getting dark bags and circles under your eyes. I am not sure how long it lasts, but I’m pretty sure that can be an affect of lack of alcohol in your system. If you want you can check out this web site,, there is information on there about alcohol detoxing. Also, there is a helpline number on there, that you can call and speak to a professional, so you may wanna just give them a call and check. Good luck!
