Too much alcohol?

[guasonch]

Hi im 19 and i have an ocd. But now i started thinking about this because this weekend i went out with my friends and i drunk a lot, i came to my house vomiting, i couldnt walk and my parents were very angry. Also im taking antidepressants and anxiolytic, that they i didnt take them but i know i cant drink while taking that.
I dont go out every weekend, but when i do it, i drink a lot. and then my mother told me, stop drinking too much then it will hurt your liver. Then i started googling and i entered in panic, please tell me if i have to worry or not. As i told you i drink just on weekends, and not every weekends, its like once in two months that i drink, but i cant control myself and sometimes i finish vomiting and all that, with hangover.
But im too scared since i started reading diseases, please tell me if drinking some weekends can affect myself. I hardly  ever go out (once a month) but when i do it i take a good quantity of alcohol. Thx.

You don't have toxic hepatitis. If you're going to get that, you need to be obliterated for more than a weekend. You need to over drink most every day for a long while in order to screw yourself up.

However, as someone who has been on SSRIs, you shouldn't mix them with booze. It *****, but it's true. Alcohol is a depressant. If you mix them, you can have terrible results.

But as has been mentioned, moderate your drinking. It can be tough, but it's infinitely more enjoyable. Just, from experience, be careful mixing your drugs and alcohol. It isn't recommended.

Thanks caryopteris. As i told im taking antidepressants and klonapin. Is there any chance that the antidepressant (SSRIs) plus the alcohol of the last weekend cause me a toxic hepatitis? Im so scared, thanks.

Alcohol is something that needs to be used in small amounts.  

A.  Some people think they arent alcoholics because they only drink 2-3 drinks every night and never get drunk.  Actually this quantity is too high for the liver to stay healthy.  

B.  Another type that has trouble with alcohol drinks to get drunk.  Once they start drinking they do not stop on their own.  They drink until they pass out or get sick.  They may think they don't have a problem because they only do this once or twice a week, but they are wrong.  The liver doesnt do well with this either.  

C.  The person who is using alcohol safely usually has one or two drinks once a week or maybe once a month.  They may go 3 months without an occasion to drink coming up.  They may buy beer or wine that just sits in the refrigrator for a year and they don't remember to drink it.  They do not crave it or need it.  It is just a fun thing to do now and then, and they start to feel mild effects of tipsiness or sleepiness after 1 or 2 drinks, although they may be able to drink more if they are not driving or working, but it is rare they have 3 or 4 in a night.  

D.  Then there is the very unfortunate person who may drink exactly like the third drinker described, but what they don't know is that they have a faulty liver that can't handle any alcohol at all.  It's just their weak organ and because of light drinking and a bad liver, they end up with liver disease.
