Nikos, Alcohol doesn't just sedate someone. Alcohol binds to the acetylcholine (ACh) receptors, making it even harder for ACh to get to the muscles! That is why alcohol can be so detrimental to people with MG.
Alcohol can also have delayed effects. Please be careful! Some people can go into a crisis after consuming any alcohol. Some people who are on good treatments and are relatively stable can have alcohol.
If you ever wonder what effects something has on MG, search "blank + acetylcholine" and you will find out!
If you aren't better, please call your neuro or go in.
Take care!
