It is your choice.

I have vodka(unflavored) once in a while. Beer and esp wines, really bother my PN, but vodka does not. I think it is the other things in those fermented products---which are called congeners-- that are irritating. Red wine is the worst for me, for example.

Whiskeys also have congeners from the aging in wood barrels.

Alcohol increases circulation, and in that regard if done moderately may improve blood flow, and not bother PN.

I think it helps to take B1 either as thiamine or benfotiamine if you are going to drink alcohol. It improves metabolism of it, and reduces aldehydes, which as byproducts cause tingling etc.
