Hi Polaroid. You should definitely take some time to think about your well being, and what works for you. I’ve never taken meds but from experience I myself found that when I drank I was tired all the time, except for when I drank (if that makes any sense!!). The sugars ffrom the alcohol would give me a high, but the next day I was shattered. I’m 28 days sober now, and in weeks 2-4 I felt exhausted. People react in different ways, but for sure alcohol will be affecting your body and your sleep. Good luck, take care of yourself. Life is so precious and health is everything.
