I copied this post from another thread because the final paragraphs contain some of the wisest words I have heard around here in a long, LONG time....
Referring to the last two paragraphs....

Im in the middle of a cycle at the moment, but I still drink, (maybe Im one of the lucky ones)
I've noticed that if I drink on a friday night theres a fifty fifty chance I'll get a CH.
However drinking the day after will give me no trouble at all. (might be alcohol still in the blood, I dont know).
What can I say, I enjoy going out with my mates at the weekend 
Some may see this as the actions of a fool/alcoholic.
I prefer to think of it as:
Not letting the beast have control over my life.
If I wanna get pissed then I will,
If he shows up then I'll deal with it .
This little fucker that lives in my head, may disrupt my life at certain times.
But he is not in charge of what I do - I AM

Well I was going to say something but guess I "ain't a nice person" so will keep me widdle mouth shut.
BTW, my clusters and alcohol don't mix, so have to try to make up for it when they are gone.

We all know when it comes to CH, the solution for you to get you through your HA/cycle is yours and yours alone.
Quote:I've noticed that if I drink on a Friday night there’s a fifty fifty chance I'll get a CH.

When there is a 50-50 chance that I’ll get a CH, you can bet your years' salary that I won't do it. That is me; my way. But, there is an underlying problem here. This smells of classic Catholic rationalization and I should know, I'm Catholic.
My not so humble opinion.

The hardest lesson learned was for Dave to figure out his cycles didnt last as long when he gave up booze. He gave it a try one time when his "coupla beers" were stopping the meds from working. His shortest cycles have been when he stops drinking... period! Sure he hates how it ruins his social fun... Sure he misses his beer during a game or on a hot summer afternoon. He sits behind me right now saying "YES"........ those cycles were shorter........ alot shorter.
I have tried talking to my chronic friends... those that say it doesnt matter if they drink or not... To give up drinking doesnt mean for a night. It means for a substantial amount of time like say a month.... then if it doesn't matter and your getting hit like when you were drinking......... GO ON A BINGE........ !
It worked for Dave. The last two cycles he had were 12 weeks and 10 weeks. The one before that was 7 months... involved a hospital stay and almost a nervous breakdown....... it also involved alot of booze.
God bless everyone... We've been where you sit. We're not judging anyone. We are social drinkers too. Try it... What do you have to lose but a coupla pounds...and more money in your wallet, while taking care of your body and trying something new. Ree

I would agree with the statement if your "sticking it" to the Beast for something important like if it was taking time away from your children or family but for getting a drink...I don't agree.
Maybe it's from growing up with an alcoholic parent but alcohol ain't important enough to chance a hit.

If your willing to pay the consequences the other 50 % of the time then that decision is yours and yours only.
Nothing more need be said.
I just responded to a third party quote didn't I ?

I would happily trade drinking for the rest of my life...for not having just one kip 9. Maybe my pain scale is off here or Im a puss. Dont drink in cycle its like putting your head in a meatgrinder. Why? for a buzz? Guess the demon dont bother that much...???? to each his own ,but I dont get it.
