The researches says that alcool can increase the side effects of levodopa and worse PD symptoms.
In my experience if I drink about 2/3 glasses of wine and after drinking a Margarita, my symptoms of PD get improve. I assume that is for the production of GABA due tu alcool, that give me more relaxation . What is you experience?

I rarely drink alcohol anymore but when I do, it calms me down. My tremors subside significantly. But I think it’s a 2 way St. if I drink too much it’s not good. One or two glasses of wine or a cocktail every now and then makes me enjoy life. I’m not gonna cut it out completely.
Hi Mike, I'm 72 years young and was diagnosed in 2010. I enjoyed a cold Hieny when I got home from work, especially on a hot day. I would grab my small cooler and put 3-4 Hienies in it. I would go down to my backyard archery range and shoot 30-40 arrows. It was so relaxing. Then I started on rum and coke with a lime twist. A big mistake - the acid in the coke led me to develop kidney stones. Five years later I came down with PD. I don't drink at all now. I'm all for research so there might be something here. Could drinking alcohol have a beneficial impact on alcohol soluble alpha synoclein. I wonder what the PD rate is for alcoholics. Any one wanna check this out? Always said if it was your idea, you could pass the work off to someone else!!!
