Beer does the same to me as to you (so during clusters I don't dare touch alcohol of any kind). I'm a moderate to heavy drinker but apparently am not addicted to the stuff (been off it for two months so far and never have had any withdrawal symptoms or craving). My remissions are usually three years, and alcohol doesn't bother me during that period. However, judging from your experience, maybe stopping drinking altogether would make the remissions even longer. I think I'll give it a try. Nothing to lose and potentially a lot to gain (besides the money which would otherwise be wasted on a fleeting and dubious pleasure). Thanks for sharing the info.
