I used to love trying all the different beers. Lagers, stouts, IPA’s, etc. However, since MS attacked, I don’t like the feeling alcohol gives me. I’m not talking about being fall down drunk.

Members shared a wide range of experiences around drinking alcohol after an MS diagnosis, with most noting that their relationship with alcohol had changed significantly. Several members described giving it up entirely because even one or two drinks worsened symptoms like leg weakness, balance issues, nerve pain, and extreme fatigue, while others still enjoy an occasional drink in moderation. A recurring theme was that alcohol affects everyone with MS differently, and many felt it simply was not worth the trade-off of feeling worse than they already do.
