If I did try and drink any alcohol, I felt very nauseous and wanted to vomit.
About a week or 2 after starting iodine, my friend came over with my favorite beer when I was drinking...and I mean my FAVORITE of all time. The beer didn't seem appetizing at all, but I tried it anyways. Result was nausea after a glass.
2 weeks later, I tried another favorite of mine, curious to see if this was a fluke. Result, more nausea.
Besides not having alcohol on the brain all the time from taking iodine, I also knew now that if I drank any alcohol, I would feel like vomiting.
That essentially nailed the coffin shut on that chapter of my life for good.
