A little alcohol can help you to relax. It helps me in the evening, but too much is never a good idea. Getting drunk doesn’t solve anything and it’s not a path you want to go down.

Nope, I wouldn’t do that - I suspect at the very least you would end up with a nasty hangover and the tinnitus would probably be even worse.

Alcohol can be used as a weapon against Tinnitus - yes. You can bludgeon yourself into unconsciousness with it easily enough.

But I've learned that to fight Tinnitus (with "weapons") is to start a fight you are going to lose. Everytime.

Methods, Practices, and Tools - these are the things to employ in the management of our condition.

Not weapons like alcohol.

Speak to your doctor about managing Spikes - I use Diazepam from time to time, not very often at all these days, - I treat it as an ejector seat that removes me from the T.

A couple of days on it give me respite from the storm that is a Spike.

You could say it's the same thing as using alcohol but I would disagree. The Diazepam modifies Gaba Receptors and just takes the edge off everything whilst allowing me to feel relaxed and calm and reflective of my condition. To formulate new approaches and methods to cope.

Alcohol is a just poison that obliterates and little more. All the trouble is still going to be there when you return from your absence only more so.
