The Dry Drunk Drinks

Jennifer didn’t begin drinking until 18 years of age. She comes from a family drinkers, and while she never drank, she now knows she was a “dry drunk” – an alcoholic who wasn’t drinking, even though she had never tasted alcohol. Her high school years were spent in depressive hazes and so therapists, which sent her brain into a tizzy, medicated her. Her first drinking experiences, however, came while Jennifer was in college.
