Summary
Otter 47465's first symptoms, a terrible cough and loss of voice, began in January when they stopped drinking alcohol. Their voice mostly returned after four months, but then a headache lasted more than six weeks. They described alcohol intolerance, getting blackout drunk on two glasses of white wine, and gave up cutting caffeine because the withdrawal headache was not worth it.
