Hello,
This is a long post, so I am going to respond, in a few posts of my own.

As an alcoholic, I can tell you straight up that alcohol does two things to someone with BP -- 1) it helps quiet the mind until you passout, 2) it creates serious hypo/manic episodes.
Either way there are serious draw backs 1) I used alcohol to quiet my mind initially and it worked....helped me sleep....etc....until I was completely addicted, 2) this caused more and more of the alcohol induced manic events to occur.
Long story short, stay away from alcohol with BP.
