Restless Legs: The first suggestion obviously is not to drink. The second is to consult a sleep specialist in your area. Some studies have shown tramadol to be effective but more controlled studies are needed.

Alcohol worsens RLS: Alcohol worsens RLS and pl md, periodically movement disorder. This is not at all uncommon. Your best bet would be to stop drinking. If you are alcohol addicted however please get into an alcohol treatment program that is monitored by a physician. Please see the very informative website below. www.progressivehealth.com/rls-alcohol.htm alcohol consumption can worsen the symptoms of restless leg.
