Alcohol and Migraine: How to Track the Pattern Without Guessing

Alcohol may be a factor for some people with migraine, but amount, timing, food, hydration, sleep, and the rest of the week can all matter. Context is more useful than a one-size-fits-all rule.

Note the whole evening

• Type and amount of alcohol
• Food and water alongside it
• Sleep that night
• Next-day symptom timing

Avoid alcohol when you know it is unsafe for you or conflicts with medication guidance.
