My two cents on in it, though, is that everybody's body is different. I think it's totally possible alcohol could be positively affecting your symptoms, not for any scientific reason, but just because I know how strangely alcohol affects me.

I have a horribly named problem called "Holiday Heart Syndrome." Usually it's associated with binge drinking, but I experience symptoms with just one or two drinks. The symptom is a very fast heart rate and palpitations. This goes on for hours on end with me, and if I have the audacity to have 3 or more drinks, I'll be awake all night.

Doctors and researchers have no clue as to the cause, but obviously there's something not working right with how I metabolize alcohol. So maybe the way you're metabolizing alcohol is helping you. Why not?

My crappy problem if anyone wants to read about it.
