I got a bunch of wine as presents at Christmas, and I bought a bunch myself, so I've been averaging about 1 bottle every night by myself for the last couple of months or so. No real ill effects apart from the fact I'm not quite as sharp first thing in the morning, but I'm beginning to think about the long term.

Sudden abstinence probably isn't the best way to go after having maintained that consumption level for a few months, but I think its probably time to cut down. I remember i stopped drinking daily suddenly once before.. I didn't go into full blown withdrawl because I wasn't drinking THAT much, but I did feel really jumpy and had some savage panic attacks.

I've read a few medical studies which indicate that consuming up to 35 units a week (about 1 750ml bottle of wine a day) is actually very good for your circulatory system and lowers your risk of many cancers, but they don't address when the risk to your liver catches up.
