Agree with DSM on this one. Do you realize how many people smoke cigarettes (an admitted poison) for life or how many people imbibe cocktails for life. My dad's liver muct look like jelly after all that alcohol that he and ALL of those his age have drank over the years.

As such, given a choice of alcohol or cigarettes or klonopin for a lifetime, I would choose klonopin in a second. Try wd from cigarettes if you want a doozy. I remember that it was so bad for my mom that she even considered smoking pot. Some people get "woozy" from benzos, but I don't. I get woozy from cigarettes and excessive alcohol causes face down crashing after throwing up. It's all in the individual chemistry!
