John,

I read you other posts. I don't think your question has an answer that applies to you. You have other issues to consider. I was just telling another poster that getting drunk can affect the brain in ways similar to a concussion. You brain has been compromised and the recent concussion has just added to that condition.

At 1 week post concussion, you can very likely experience a spontaneous recovery.

Nicotine has it's challenges to the brain but I doubt it has much for you to be worried about.

I would suggest you get on the brain health vitamin and supplements regimen posted in the stickies above. Check out post 101 on Nov 8. It has the updated information.

My best to you.
