I drank quite a bit after my last concussion in 2012 not knowing I had suffered any damage. I noticed I was 'way drink' after a beer and a half, unusual for me. Not that I was a drinker- I was a cyclist and many a cyclist loves a beer or two!
Now that I am aware and my clarity is coming back- I am see that the alcohol directly inhibited my recovery. I stayed in brain fog for 30 months and would get down and ....have a beer. I'd be out for 2 days with intensified symptoms.
Now I don't drink- I'll have the 1 socially rarely but that's it. It's not worth jacking up my brain even more just for some libations. I miss it for sure as I love having a great time and partying with buds. But my new mock tails are great and make it so I don't get questioned about why I'm not drinking and can feel like I'm part of the group.
But I agree with Mark- party 'with alcohol' days are over for a long time until my brain is healed- and maybe for life. Which I am fine with =)
