Question by Honest Jay: How much alcohol must be consumed and for how long to reach PHYSICAL dependence?
No one seems to be able to answer this. I am not talking about alcoholism, addiction, or psycological need, but PHYSICAL dependence, ie; measurable physical withdrawal upon stopping.

This is a broad question with infinite answers. Every person is a different size, shape, color, weight, etc. For some it could be much less than others. Ones’ weight would be the most significant factor in determining the amount, but even then it would be only one of the many contributing factors. There are many correct answers to this question, but there is no one answer that will render an absolute solution.

502 gallons in 5 months and 4 days. Sounds like an answer, but it’s just shot in a large dark room of answers.
