hi lars,
i live in austria an beer would be one of my favorite alcohol. but after one beer (half a liter) ch appears - very strongly. in many cases - i take 2 aspro and this helps me to supress the pain. after the attack has finished - i can drink as many beers as i want - no more attacks follow. since i know that alcohol, cheese, nuts, chocolate and looking tv trigger ch - i let it be - it's better not to force an attack.
a few weeks ago i made an interesting experience. i drank beer in 2000 m sea height in the mountains and nothing happened. i tried this a second and a third time - the same results. but i can't go always to the mountains, just for drinking beer ;-)
wish you a painless time
