Just remember that you must drink to the health of every CHead who can't join you.

Cheers.

I'm usually good after I've gone a week without a hit or a shadow, but I'm a thrill-seeker.   ;)

Try it and see...it's all you can do.  Worth it?  Not worth it?  Your call.  And good luck.   :)

Best,

George

Thanks guys! 
Okay, Joe, I KNOW I should have gotten set up with the O2 and sadly I have not...  with that said, can I take a Maxalt after drinking alcohol if I get a hit ? It's probably in the literature but I can't remember (go figure)...  current abortive arsenal contains 1. MaxAlt 2. Frova 3. Imitrex pills. And of course, my window a/c unit in the shop.

While on verapamil you will get Drunk fast, verapamil enhances the effects of alcohol.

Keep your O2 handy and don't drive   :D

Please don't drive even without the Verap.  Don't want to lose one of the family!  (Or anyone else.)

Thanks for thinking of me Ginger and Jerry.. and others.  Not to worry, I am Ms Safety. I measured the alcohol and enjoyed a nice drink at home with my many dogs, the cat (somebody elses that wandered up last year and stayed LOL), and my raisin toast! Sadly for me...not even the slightest buzz and can't even tell that I am even remotely more relaxed. Not going to push the beast though, I'm finished with my binge on one ounce of Capt'n. HA HA  LOLO

Why risk it just for a taste of alcohol?  :-?

I'd wait longer to make certain.

I am  editing my response due to a retired cop below who has shown me the error of my words.   ::)

Why risk a night of  being in pain for a night of drinking.?     Just make certain you are out of cycle is all I was trying to say.

    How'd I do Joe?

Was hoping it might relax me a little after a miserable week. No such luck...was hoping for effect rather than taste.
