Haha, absolutely not! Once in a while is fine, if it helps alleviate the anxiety in social situations. Alcohol elevates GABA in the brain, which is an inhibitory neurotransmitter that dampens dopamine. Some stutterers actually speak more fluently after a drink or two, but exceeding that can make speech more effortful, so thereโs a fine balance. For me 2 drinks helps a lot ๐๐๐ผ
