Summary
A Reddit user with ME/CFS said drinking alcohol relaxed them while it lasted but brought immense fatigue and brain fog once it wore off, and made their OCD far worse even after a few pints. They had barely drunk over the past year and had not touched a drop in three months, calling alcohol only a temporary escape with a huge rebound effect.
