You ask why I do this to myself? I am not physically dependant on beer BUT am mentally addicted for sure.I have a high anxiety level(panic,obsessive thoughts,etc.) and am currently on antidepressant Zoloft(50mgs.).Xanax,as needed. When I drink about 6 beers I need no xanax to relax my anxiety.Insteed I opt for a hit or miss "big one" h/a. I know smoking also triggers my h/a but still smoke even thuogh deep inside me I want to quit. I have currently found a high blood pressure med combo that lowered my blood pressure to normal But still got h/a(was hoping blood pessure was the cause). I have cut down on beer consumption lately and feel an end is near in this cycle.
