My Brother Is a Drug Addict and an Alcoholic, Please Help?

Question by Red-eye Coyote: My brother is a drug addict and an alcoholic, please help?
His names Brian and he works as a waiter at Clydes in Alexandria. He’s living in northern Virginia with our mother. He claims he’s been just working and trying to get his life together, but all I’ve been hearing from friends is about him partying it up. I’m just very concerned about him.

Best answer:

Answer by Leann F
Don’t listen to what others are saying, it’s better if you ask him and get the truth from him. Others will often say bad things to make him look worse, but as a brother you should be going to him and asking him.

What Are the Chances of Dying From Alcohol Poisoning?

Question by X: What are the chances of dying from alcohol poisoning?
Last night, I drank about 6 glasses of wine. I was really out of it, and I don’t drink often either. This morning, I woke up nauseous and with a really bad headache. I’m not too sure if this is alcohol poisoning or just a really bad hangover. It’s been about 15 hours since I drank. I still have a horrible headache, but I can breathe fine and such.
My questions:
How long usually until someone dies from this?
What can I do to feel better? (from nausea and headache)
Does it sound like it’s just a hangover or poisoning?

What Was the Name of the Classical Song That Was on That 80’s Commercial for an Alcohol Treatment Center?

Question by freshmode87: What was the name of the classical song that was on that 80’s commercial for an alcohol treatment center?
Does anyone remember that commercial from the 80’s for a drug and alcohol treatment center? They used to run the commercial constantly (at least in Southern Cal), I think the place was called Schick or New Beginnings. What was the name of the song that played in the background during the commercial? It is a very famous classical piece that sounds a lot like Canon D (the wedding song) but it’s not. They used it in the A&E show “Intervention” the other day so it appears to be synonymous with addiction and treatment. If you know it you’re a genius!

What US Cities Have the Lowest Cost of Living and a High Employment Rate?

Question by someone,somewhere: What US cities have the lowest cost of living and a high employment rate?
I currently live in Los Angeles county, which has a high cost of living. I’m thinking about moving out of state but can’t really decide where. Any information you would like to contribute about where you live, the cost of living, employment ratios, quality of living, etc would be greatly appreciated! I’m looking for a nice area where I can easily get a job. (I do office work – Administrative and Customer Service oriented. My husband does pest control.) Someplace where the cost of housing is affordable, where there aren’t a bunch of bums, poor people or gangs. A place that isn’t too conservative (we have a lot of tattoos and want to be accepted by our neighbors). Nice weather,maybe a little snow but not so much that you get snowed in all the time. I’d love to be near a lake or the ocean. I’ve pretty much eliminated Arizona, New Mexico, Nevada (all too hot), Utah (too many Mormons), Alabama, Georgia and Florida. I’ve been considering North Carolina, Pennsylvania and Oklahoma.
Thanks!
