Positive experiences
“taurine (2–3 g daily) and alcohol are the only substances that have seemed to calm my body’s stress and anxiety.”
“A bit of alcohol did actually help with it, so I thought it was maybe anxiety related.”
Negative and mixed experiences
“If I drink, even one beer or glass or wine but certainly if I have two or three, I sleep terribly. I'm up all night. My heart rate is elevated and I get jittery.”
“I can’t sleep without it and don’t sleep with it. Every day ends up plan to drink and hide it if I can.”
“Alcohol is limited to weekends (at which point I sleep through the night, but sleep quality is garbage).”
“Don't drink booze. My resting heart rate while I sleep on the weekends swings soooo much higher than during the week.”
“After I stopped using weed and drinking alcohol I have only been sick like 3x in the past 3 years.”
“I noticed when I first started drinking that during an EPIC hangover, all three symptoms go away and finally, clarity sets in.”
