If you have not tried it yet, I highly recommend that you do but watch your sleep after and definitely don't go over 2, maybe three shots at the most on a full stomach...definitely not on an empty belly.
So a few nights ago we had some friends over for dinner and naturally I opened a bottle of each and before I knew, both bottles were almost empty and the guests were leaving (another strange phenomenon that good vodka creates. Its called amnesia). In my drunken state I must have remembered to wear my pap machine and turn on the supplemental oxygen, at 2l.min and thank heavens that I did.
As you can see my sleep was miserable with my AHI going up into stratosphere at over 34
My apnea episodes are certainly very colorful and span the entire range of different kinds that night, from your regular run-off-the-mill Hypopnea to Clear Airway and Obstructive, apnea episodes that I never normally even have. My sleep is all over the place and my ASV machine is going nuts trying to keep a tab on everything that is happening, clearly without much success at reducing the events that night.

Thankfully I don't remember much of the sleep with Countess Walewska that night Hangover is also minimal the next day, if any.
This next chart is a couple of days later when I have sobered up. It has been my new normal pattern since a few months back, when we moved to the west coast.

Alcohol has a severe impact on my apneatic condition and I am certain that I am not alone.
