*might* kill you but so could drinking lighter
fluid? What's your point? Now barbiturates and
alcohol WILL kill you even well below the
documented LD if you slip into repertory arrest
or choke on your own vomit.

Generally, a couple of blues and a few drinks
aren't lethal. Are we discussing suicide
methods or non-lethal ways to get fuckered up?

BTW, CNS sedatives and thiamine and rehydration
are life-savers when it comes to acute alcohol
withdrawal.

And addictive personality types misusing sedatives?
Ah, You've got to be kidding me!

Is your physician aware of the difficulty with alcohol? Valium and other
similar compounds could be a very BAD choice for managing alcohol cravings,
especially if the cravings are physical in nature, as you could easily find
yourself taking the medication and also drinking.

Have an honest conversation with your doctor about the alcohol and then take
the action s/he prescribes.
