    Everybody saying "she didn't taste the vodka?!?!?!" dont seem to understand that once you get a tolerance you kinda ignore the taste. Once you're addicted to booze you dont notice a double vodka, if anything your body ignores the odd flavour so it can have what craves. There's alcoholics in my family and it's a dreadful thing to see somebody battle.

      I don’t think it something that’s completely synonymous with alcoholism. Because as a big vodka drinker myself if I mix it with anything I can’t taste it. Shows how hard it must be for people who are alcoholics to over come it when alcohols can be made to taste like juice.

    Around the time this storyline was going on, I was hanging with a group that was bang on the booze & gear daily. After coming home from a 3 day bender one evening my dad was watching Eastenders & I sat down off my nut. It was the episode where Lauren turned yellow from alcohol poisoning and my dad said “I know what you’re out doing. Be careful or you will end up like that.” And it planted a seed in my mind and I hung out with the crowd I was with less and less after that. Bravo to Jaqueline Jossa & Eastenders for portraying something so powerful it pierced my soul.

You don't just have one hard drink and then go "Whoops, I'm an alcoholic now!" Drinking problems don't happen overnight, they develop over time.

How many die from alcohol every year? How many people are addicted to alcohol? How many lives does this legal substance take each year? A lot more than a joint or some shrooms.
