NO!!! (see Dr Burrascano's guidelines) NO!
(You don't want any leftover 'ketes to start "partying".)

No alcohol until you're "in remission", as we say.
And then just a wee Small one. or 2. [Razz]

... then get to bed early.

It could cause you to get a yeast infection. Alcohol is pure sugar, you know. So a drink would be a gigantic dose of sugar to your system.

And, as long as you still have lyme disease, you don't need anything weakening your immune system. That's what alcohol does.

I would worry more about the yeast possibility than one drink making lyme worse, to tell you the truth.

what about the alcohol in the drops??? Samento etc.... I let them sit in water...I've heated the water and can still taste it...

So are they a problem?

A few DROPS ("20-25% ethanol"?) probably isn't going to be an issue, but you Should try to find a non-alcoholic tincture.
