DS and alcohol
If it's who I'm thinking of, I don't know why she's bothering with labs since she's committing suicide by bottle anyway.
I see you already told her what she needs to do - inpatient detox, now.
can't even imagine how hard it would be to take ACTION when this deep in passive despair.
once upon a time I had a group to talk about Binge Eating Disorder, and later one about Clean Eating.
PM me if you are interested in either of these.

Why stop? Get the labs as is, so reality is there.
I'm just not one to hide anything from any of my medical professionals.
What's the point?
The DS labs it will show up in will be the liver panel, and the damage is already done.
Why stop for a day or two and deal with the detox hell?
Obviously, I'm not advocating that someone not deal with a substance abuse issue, but that is a whole other situation.

I work part time, so I have a lot of days off. I'm a drunk. On my days off I wake up, have a protein coffee, take my pills and vites, then start in on the rum and coke. Today I got up at about 9:30 and have been drinking since 10:30. What is strange is that I will take a nap soon and wake up totally sober with no hangover. I can drink half of a big bottle of rum a day and not be falling down drunk. I've steadily making my drinks stronger and stronger. Every day I say I'll quite after my bottle is done, but I don't. I hate the days I work, because I have to wait all day and evening to get to my rum. It's that I don't know what to do with myself when sober and I'm so anxious I can't stand it. Can we say self medicating? Yes, I have a pdoc and take four psych meds a day plus anti anxiety as needed and could take sleeping pills, which I have and don't take because of the booze, but I don't want to take those because they are addictive. (Yep, that is stupid.) Please, don't have a drink it can lead to feeling good and become a habit.
She needs to get her butt on over here and ask herownself. If not under her own acct, then get a new one so we can ask the questions.
