It's my understanding that people with brain injury have more sensitive brains and when we drink alcohol any new connections we built via neuroplasticity immediately disconnect again so all symptoms will be magnified whether the person is aware of it or not. So no, I would not drink. But if you do so safely on your own and don't mind the effects than it's totally a personal choice.
