Beer Test Question

To all you experienced users...
I haven't had a real hit for a week now, just evening and morning shadows. Nothing last night and light shadow this AM.
I really want to have beers this eve. If I do, either nothing happens or I get hit, here's the question...
Do I get hit just once as a payback, or do I run the risk of aggravating a ending cycle and putting up with the beast for another few weeks?
What say ye.

I don't know. I just stopped drinking. It wasn't that vital to me, and I didn't want to run the risk.
Good luck.

I generally just go ahead and give it a try. It's not likely to hit the re-set button for a new cycle if that is what you are worried about.
I do, for safety's sake, make sure I take a little imitrex with me when I go out in this type of situation -- just in case.
Worst case, you get hit. It sucks. It goes away and you're none the wiser.
Don't drink and drive with a cluster headache (or without really) -- it would make for a really bad mug-shot

In my experience only, if I do the beer test and fail, it's a one-off. Doesn't reset the cycle.
I usually wait until I've gone a week without a hit--or a shadow before I try. I'm almost always right about the thing being over. Some wait longer.
Best,
George

Ah! The foreigners put on such airs
Wearing the tangerine suits
And their harlequin eyes.
The pain they inspire
Draws in harmonica melodies
And the feathers of birds
Which flame up at their touch.
It all comes to light in the sheer
Debonair.

Brain, that's funny-what other condition uses beer as a diagnostic tool.
Anyway, drank the first one with some trepidation (it lasted all of two minutes-mmm beer); nothing. Drank the second with less fear. All in all, I drank five beers and life was good.
As I prepared dinner, I was hit with a hard shadow, but do not attribute that to the alcohol. This AM, I do NOT have my typical morning shadow. Wow! The beast may very well be back in his deep grave.
I will now wait a week and look forward to wine with dinner once again. Bless ya'll, I am now a partner forever. Here's cheers for all others and PF days 'cross our planet.

Only the beast knows the answer.
You willing to welcome him back for a few more weeks if its not a one time payback?

Personally, I figured out through hindsight that alcohol only triggered an attack when I was at least three or four weeks into my cycle. Once I had that figured out, I wouldn't risk it until I was sure I was done (no more shadows) Alcohol triggered the most brutal attacks for me - so not worth it.
