Alcohol can lessen: The symptoms of ocd temporarily but when they come back they may be even stronger. Also, alcohol interacts w/medication, which can be dangerous. Better to avoid alcohol and learn some techniques for stress management and ocd from a mental health professional. The very best to you. Sparkling water or just water w/lemon or lime is refreshing.
