It's been around a month since I finished my R/T and am generally feeling fine, I would like to ask if anyone else has found that they can't drink alcohol without waking the next day without a banging headache. I can't seem to have even one beer without suffering the next day, could it be down to the hormone treatment?,  any tips or tricks gratefully received. 

  • Hi.. has anyone mentioned how long aftre RT before you can have alcohol, caffine, fizzy drinks ?  I doubt theres a set rule but a rough guidline...

  • Hi whatsisname - I completed my last fraction of RT - was very emotional - rang the bell on the way out to confirm I had completed my treatment - and 10 seconds later was a 67 year old man - a quivering wreck in a chair in reception with uncontrolled tears --- however

    Half an hour later I went for a couple of pints of finest bitter with some of my mates, I felt great - a month with no alcohol, very little coffee and no fizzy drinks - yes I felt great.

    4 months down the line - I feel amazing - I still drink the "odd" beer - still drink coffee but have left the fizzy drinks alone.

    I don't think there is a rule - just be like me - "A man of moderation".

    I hope it all goes well for you.

    Kind Regards 

    Brian.

  • Cheers Brian ... I have to be honest I am not feeling the Bell.. maybe because I thought it was for getting the all clear so its a bit of a non event now in my head :(  But I cheer and clap when others ring it and I may feel different when its my turn 

    I am not  a big drinker myself..I can feel alcohol on the first drink, But definitely missing a pint in this weather 

    If my journey goes half as good as yours I will be happy.. so far it is going good. Just need to keep my fingers crossed nothing bad from the RT which I gather I will know after  2 weeks

    Good that your enjoying life :)  long may it continue.
