Good response FT

Alcohol can be a problem - especially with Graves. The sugar conversion could rage the antibodies and storm a person. Its rare - but sugar will induce this if the antibodies are high

Hypo people and booze usually get drunk faster. That is issue common with that.

I would not advise drinking with any medication that affects your metabolism, but that is a hard question to respond to when no knows your medical history, age, any high BP? it is just to vague to respond with an answer, so to be safe, I would say no, and the medication is still in your system, so just not taking it the day you drink Does not make it safe.  Good Luck FTB4
