Alcohol triggers two medical conditions I have so I to don’t drink anymore. After 6 years without a drop of alcohol, trust me you’re better off not having it, just buy some fireworks or something.
That’s why you have to light the fireworks before eating them. They undergo a chemical reaction when lit and are not longer gunpowder after a few seconds.
I’m currently trying to figure out why alcohol triggers migraines for me, but only sometimes. Lately it’s been most times. I only drink socially now, and even then, more often than not I abstain.
I’m not talking big drinking, I mean one Manhattan can either be the beginning of a fun night where I might have two or three more drinks, tops.
Or I can feel the headache starting before I even finish the first drink.
Replace whiskey with gin, vodka, beer, wine, whatever. All have the same 50/50 chance of ruining my night and next day, depending on how hard I ignore it. No rhyme or reason to what alcohol does it, though I admit to not being extremely scientific.
Sugar level doesn’t seem to have an effect. Hyper hydration seemingly helps sometimes? But barely. Even with liquid IV or lmnt pregame, no dice. I drink plenty of water every day regardless, I like sugary foods but I avoid pop like the plague.
My recent blood work was all good, fasting glucose was good, so I don’t think it’s diabetes.
Doctor wasn’t extremely helpful. He did recommend trying tiny amounts of alcohol, and different types of alcohol. Trying to see if some combination can bring relief. Then just drink that.
My most recent thought was that maybe it has some connection to my teeth. I get migraines for seemingly no reason, but a bad toothache can definitely be a trigger. I’ve got a couple bad teeth, and I grind. But dentistry is expensive, so it’ll be awhile, if ever, before I find permanent relief there.
While I don’t get migraines, I do regularly get massive headaches and grind my teeth which are in such bad shape the dentist said it would be cheaper to just get full upper and lower implants at this point. Seeing how alcohol doesn’t always trigger the migraine I’d say yes it’s probably more to do with your teeth, but I’m just going on what you wrote to produce my unsolicited prognosis.
As for what alcohol triggers for me, GURD (severe and chronic acid reflux) and IBS-D.
The GURD can trigger almost immediately or later, depending on how strong the drink is.
The IBS-D usually hits within 1 to 2 hours of drinking and then it’s hours of pain, cramping, sitting on the toilet, and praying for death.
I haven’t had a drink since March 2019 and while I’ll never fully escape the symptoms of either of these, I have managed to reduce the frequency and severity of them by cutting out all alcohol.
Best of luck figuring out what’s causing your migraines. Best advice I can give is stop drinking for a while and see if you still get them, if yes then it’s probably not the alcohol.

I would but gunpowder exacerbates my acid reflux
Gluten free gunpowder, a bit more expensive but worth it once in a while when you want to treat yourself.
Real gunpowder is gluten free
You’re thinking of the knockoff brand glunpowder

If I may ask, what conditions?
