I wonder how many of us still drinking alcohol ?
I didn’t drink for months after my crash but I’ll have a drink with friends or wine with dinner sometimes now.
I don’t think it makes a difference to PFS for me.
I do drink sometimes but like once every 2 months or so.
My hangovers are worse since PSSD so i don’t get drunk anymore.
I drink a couple times a week. I can only drink beer. Wine seems to give me bad dizzy hangovers and makes my vision issues worse the following day.
First 2 years of PSSD I was drinking like crazy, now I quit
Why?
I still drink occasionally but limit it to 3 beers. On times when I’ve just tried to get shitfaced I’ll have worse mental symptoms and fatigue for days after
Prior to PFS I would drink socially 2 nights per week generally 8 pints per session much more in my 20s and 30s I was super fit and could take it lol ! with PFS maybe once per week. I would have a drink to beat the insomnia but would suffer hellish mental sides for two days afterwards. I only drink white wine now “for the last 3 months” equivalent of one bottle per week but have a pint of water with each glass. Sometimes I get sides but not as much! Beer/lager causes a spike in estrogen for me.
Not healthy and it’s not as pleasant as before.
I really like to get drunk, sometimes it gives me euphoria, and sometimes it makes me sad. I enjoy both things since I don’t feel neither with PFS. Also I’ve noticed that if I drink a few pints, to the point of getting tipsy but not drunk, the next morning I feel a lot better. Maybe I’m an alcoholic, who knows.
I don’t think you’re an alcoholic if you’re not compelled to drink beyond those few pints.
