I’m not looking for medical advice, but more understanding. I have chronic back pain. I can alleviate it completely with only 2 things - alcohol and a heating pad. Ibuprofen lessens it but it’s still present. Muscle relaxers do nothing (which makes sense because it’s not muscle related, it’s spinal disk degeneration).

A tall glass of whiskey makes my back relax and I can move normally. Once it wears off tho, it’s right back to tense and painful.

    No one says the opposite. I’m a very active person.

    Just not at night right before going to bed. I feel like that could lead to bad quality of sleep.

      Well it’s your feelings compared to the huge amount of scientific backing. And the article I linked to has a bunch of sources too, although I consider John Hopkins Hospital a valid primary source for medicine
