Members shared varied experiences with alcohol during the holidays, with some finding that wine or spirits help them relax and sleep while others reported increased pain, flares, or feeling ill the next day. Several members emphasized the importance of checking medication interactions, with many noting they avoid alcohol entirely due to prescriptions, conditions like epilepsy or diabetes, or simply feeling worse afterward. A recurring theme was moderation and personal choice, with members encouraging each other to listen to their own bodies, enjoy special occasions mindfully, and not let their condition take away all of life's small pleasures.

I drink coffee non stop, the stimulant in it helps reduce my muscle tremors and it has zero effect on anything else. I could drink a triple latte and go to be for the night and sleep
