Question by neftalipabon: am I going through alcohol withdrawal?
I am asking to see if I am suffering from Alcohol withdrawal or something else. During the summer I was on percocets for 3 months for a bad back. I took it on and off. I stopped about 4 weeks ago, no sweat. I also drank on occasion during the summer, I have been drinkin for about 19 years. over 2 weeks ago I drank 5 out of 7 days, the last day drinking WAY too much. Next day as my hangover subsided, I had a panic attack. the next 3 days afterwards i was anxious but not too bad. Then the following Friday, another attack, followed by 3 days of pure anxiety, paranoia, shakes, I thought I was either going to die or go nuts. Went to ER, they dissmised it as a panic attack. Went to my primary the following Monday, he chalked it up to anxiety. A week of slightly feeling better goes by, I go back to my primary this past Tuesday and explain in detail what happened. He says it is anxiety brought on by alcohol withdrawal. I went through the same thing about 9 years ago, it subsided. Is this what I/m goin through? I feel a little better each day but I have moments where I am like WTF??

Question by pinkbubblegum: can an alcoholic parent affect the child?
My dad was alcoholic even before I was born. He wasn’t abusive but he wasn’t in good terms with my mom and I was always afraid that he was gonna hurt her. One time he came home and
he started looking for knife and said he was gonna hurt her. Other times
he said he was gonna kill himself and I believed him. He would come home rlly late
every other night and wake us up cuz he’s loud. I don’t live with him anymore but I can be very insecure and I’m kind of shy even though I try not to be. Do you think it’s cuz of him? I know some people don’t think it’s a big deal cuz he didn’t beat us up or anything but I went through so much and my mom has really high expectations of me.I’m like a only hope
to her.

Question by LAUREN ?: Are these real sentences or fragments?
All of which you would be by not finishing school

One-third of all high school students fail to graduate

That’s what life really is; a game.

You either win or you lose

You win by staying in school and lose by, of course, dropping out.

This may sound dumb but I am just making sure they arent fragments

Best answer:

Answer by Precise Edit
It’s good that you asked. One of these IS a fragment, and 3 others are incorrect grammatically.

1. “All of which you would be by not finishing school”
This one is the fragment. The way you have it here, starting with “all of which” means that it is a description of something else. It has no subject or predicate. You will need to combine this with a complete sentence. For example, you might write “Drop-outs are poor, prone to drug and alcohol abuse, and unlikely to get career advancements, all of which you would be by not finishing school.”
