Is this an ADHD meme?
(Smol amount of alcohol to focus the mind a bit, deal with normal amounts of ADHD anxiety? Still, not reading the labels is weird.)

Wait is this a thing? Sounds like a horrible way to manage but I'm down to try anything.
It's not really a thing. ADHD is usually medicated with stimulants, not depressants. Counterintuitively, ADHD brains suffer from a lack of sensitivity to dopamine and similar chemicals, and stimulants flood the brain with these giving ADHD people an experience closer to neurotypical.
Alcohol as a depressant does the exact opposite thing that an ADHD brain needs, and will make core symptoms worse.
It only kinda is, it's more of a partial indicator really (not on it's own, a distant personal clue that fits more puzzles), doesn't last long & is easily overruled by other shit (a bad/worse focus day, emotional things, adrenaline, etc).
Hangover also great for ADHD. Slows down the mind. Quite productive unless you buy in to the idea that you can't do stuff while hungover.
Pity alcohol is so bad for you.
Yeah, being sick is a little vacation from yourself.
