Anyone else gets a particular effect from tequila?

I’m talking about tequila made 100% from agave, because if it’s only 51%, they can still sell it as tequila, but it’s probably less likely you’ll experiment the same thing.

I doubt it becomes the most important thread on the forum, but anyway, I wanted to mention that I usually get a good buzz when I’m drinking it, it feels as if it relaxes my nervous system and I even become a bit exalted. The problem is the next night it’s absolutely impossible for me to sleep without some sleeping aid if I drank a good amount of it. I feel the effect on my nervous system, as if it has been more or less anesthetized and as if some normal functions implicated in sleep are inactivated.

Sleep is usually harder for me after a night of excesses, but this is something else. I don’t get this reaction from any other liquor.

don’t use any alcohol while suffering from PFS… I can drink a couple of Guinness sometimes and it doesn’t affect me, but doing booze like that will definitely make your symptoms worse. insomnia mainly, but possibly also your stress threshold and short-term memory too.

I drank the smallest amount a couple days ago and my back felt like it was on fire. I could hardly sleep at all. Previous attempts actually made me tired and help me sleep. The unpredictability is quite maddening.

Just to make sure I understand, Tbone, do you mean don’t get drunk or don’t drink liquor? I think the don’t drink or don’t get drunk rule is something one should evaluate depending on the possibilities of curing himself if he doesn’t. In my case, I tried pretty much everything and I’ve only been able to manage my symptoms more or less, although it’s true I’m kind of getting better with time. If you found something that makes you better and better and you think you’ll eventually be healed if you keep doing it, then it’s probably better to refrain from drinking. But if it’s not the case and if you don’t see the light at the end of the tunnel, why refusing that to yourself on top of everything else?
