I'm episodic.
When I'm in a cycle, I can guarantee to have a CH at the onset of REM and be woken from my sleep if I have even a drop of alcohol in my system.
If I'm in remission, even downing a fifth won't trigger anything more than a bad hangover the next day.
I haven't experimented with using LOTS OF BOOZE to avoid a CH, nor do I have any desire to try. A CH is bad enough - having one while drunk would only have me reeling in a pool of puke.
