Summary
Writing in r/cfs in June 2015, they described needing a very large intake of electrolytes to function and drinking alcohol carefully. Alcohol gave them a touch more alertness the next day and less pain, though no extra energy, and only when they drank enough water to avoid a hangover. They said nothing about how their illness began or how it has progressed overall.
