In my experience, Mark's advice is right on. One drink per social event. On occasions I've had more if it's a long event. His advice is also correct about partying being a state of mind. If you are able to find a way to have fun and loosen up (and act goofy) at parties without drinking, you will be surprised with yourself and you may actually start adopting that attitude/behavior more often even when you're not at parties! It's a good skill to have.

In July 2013 ran into a metal bar at a playground, remained conscious. CT normal. Headache subsided after a week. In August woke with thunderclap-type headache in right side of head, right eye was droopy. Ever since had electrical-type pulsating all over when falling asleep and during sleep. Strong muscle twitching occasionally. Chest pain in heart region, front left neck region, and left shoulder. Strong heartbeat noise in head and occasional weird noises in ears. Taking Gabapentin to control nighttime nerves. Other symptoms: anxiety attacks, goosebumps, fine motor coordination problems, sleep apnea, headaches/migraines, fatigue, unclear thinking.
Update as of Jan. 2015 - almost all symptoms gone except for some tinnitus. Taking good care of myself except sometimes when I overdo it.
