I have been low alcohol for a few years now. However, the last couple of months there’s been 2-3 times I’ve had a big “night out” and drank a lot of alcohol with friends.

My logic: “I don’t really drink anymore, so I guess a few big nights per year should be manageable.”

The reality? My eczema flares up and always gets triggered a few hours later. I have horrible sleep and lose a day to a hangover. My HRV is low for days.

I probably only drink once per month, but even now I’m thinking I should only limit myself to one drink if I do.

Any advice? I’m also happy to quit completely. But yeah I can’t believe how much it triggers inflammation.
