Default alcohol?

Does anyone know if consuming alcohol is 'bad' if you have PCS?

I've had PCS for 3 months.

I imagine it certainly can't help at all, but I have scoured the internet for information on the subject and have found literally nothing. The only thing I've read is that some PCS sufferers have a 'lack of tolerance for stress and alcohol', which is actually what scared me away from drinking for the first 2 months. Eventually I gave in and just did it, and I felt as good as I always do when I drink. I've done it a handful of times since, perhaps indulging a bit too much on a few occasions.

I'd like to know more about the combination of alcohol and PCS, if anyone knows anything. I searched the PCS forum and only found one topic regarding alcohol. The guy who responded condemned drinking, saying it was the 'equivelant to suffering another concussion' and that it could 'reverse the healing process', but it seemed very speculatory and uninformed to me. I wish there was more information out there about this.
