If you're out there, drink a J.D. & coke for your experiment. I'm still in cycle and would like to know what to drink at the Midwest Meet & Greet.

Funny to read that some can "outdrink" the HA. I've been doing that for years! If I have one or two of most any kind of alcoholic drink...here comes the beast. So if I decide to have one I have to hand off the keys and have five or six. so I don't do it very often during a cycle, but when I do...I'm the life of the party.

Alcohol is a vasodilator (it causes blood vessels to relax and widen), but at even higher levels, it becomes a vasoconstrictor, shrinking the vessels and increasing blood pressure, exacerbating such conditions as migraine headaches and dehydration.
Maybe this explains why most (episodics) are triggered by alcohol very quickly.
It also may explain how a few people are apparently able to "outdrink" their HA. (That never worked for me and I don't recommend trying it. LOL) |

In addition to this excellent point, calcium channels are prominent targets of alcohol.

Through water and fire. From the lowest dungeon to the highest peak, I fought the Beast. Until at last, I threw down my enemy and smote his ruin upon the mountainside.
