Really want to make a suggestion - because it would be a tragedy if some CH newbie actually believed this crap about booze not bothering CH.
You are displaying absolutely standard, classic, predictable mindset & attitude of someone with EXTREME obsession w/the booze - - and nothing could be worse if you have to deal with CH.
If, in cold hard fact, the chemical alcohol doesn't make your CH attacks worse - then you are a unique fellow among documented CH cases. Unfortunately, that very insistence on "uniqueness" is another CLASSIC sign you might look at somethings besides the CH.
Your drinking is 100% your business - but please don't try to take other people down with you.
25 years ago a real good dr told me "drinking doesn't cause CH, BUT if you are in a cycle, and drink it WILL make the attacks worse". That is exactly the experience of everybody who isn't more concerned with protecting their drinking than helping their CH.
