Alcohol isn't a triggger for me.

Unfortunately this isn't possible at the moment, see http://www.clusterheadaches.com/cb/cgi-bin/yabb2/YaBB.pl?num=1257360095

IIRC there were discussions on the CH.com forum (http://www.clusterheadaches.com/wwwboard2/index.html) in the past regarding this.

3-5 HBWR seeds are usually enough for me. But that of course depends on the seeds strength. The tea might have an effect. I let the seeds simply soak in water for 2 hours before drinking the stuff. You can also try soaking them in wine, provided alcohol / wine isn't a trigger for you. Oliver

Absolutely no side effects for me and it worked (at least for me) far better than the seeds. Oliver
