I'm not the one who posted the information but I did find the following post from the same person about drug holidays:

The recommendation in the post above is for a drug holiday after 5 or 10 years.

Personally, I will never stay on alendronate that long. I was on it for 5+ years and had a vertebral compression fracture while taking it. I feel like I should have come off it after 3 years max.
