Does Alcohol Work as a Painkiller?
Question by Marie: Does alcohol work as a painkiller?
I’ve been in pain recently from a yoga class where the teacher didn’t bother to warm us up. I can’t take ibuprofen or any NSAIDS so have just manned up and am dealing with it. However, I’ve just had a few drinks (I’m overage don’t panic) and have noticed the pain has eased. Is it because of the alcohol?
Firstly I’m English, not American. Secondly, I just said that I’m not actually taking any drugs. Thirdly, I’m not suggesting using alcohol as a regular painkiller. I’m just curious. Also I have serious lung damage and asthma, so smoking weed would actually kill me.

Oh come on. I suffer from fibromyalgia. You can deal with that little pain. Americans and their painkillers for freaking anything.

Alcohol is good at numbing pain, yes- for this reason, I would insist you DON’T drink. This is sort of how addictions are formed. Once you rely upon alcohol as medication, you will drink more and more. I’ve seen this happen within my own family; I would suggest you smoke pot over drinking, pot won’t kill you.
