Would it be best to abstain completely from alcohol since it is a toxic? What are your experiences?

Hi,

With CMT moderate consumption is O.K. However, we should be particularly mindful that alcohol affects balance and coordination. Over consumption is not recommended.

Hi Stuart!
I agree this is a very individual decision.
We are always making some trade-offs in order to do some things in life.
We may want to learn just how much we are trading off in each case and then make a fully informed decision about what we want to do in each case!
Enjoy the day!
