Liquor and improved walking???...

Has anyone ever experienced their walking improved after drinking a few shots of liquor?? I know this sounds strange, but I noticed that after I drank a few shots my walking felt less strain and rigid than normal... More natural. I have drop foot issues and difficulties in general with my left leg and balance problems but noticed improvements with walking after drinking. I almost felt that my walking felt normal!! Does alcohol effect the CNS in a positive way, or is it just an placebo effect?

I guess it could be described as 'help' if it relaxes the muscles so stopping the spasticity ;) I read on a forum that a glass of red wine could help with tremors and yes, NOT trying to encourage alcohol obviously but the odd glass glass of wine did help when I had an occasional tremor :) Sonia x

@Chate , I can see the alcohol placing your whole being in a relaxed state. Usually, we're tensing ourselves, just in case the next step, or next movement, goes wrong. As normal with alcohol, we can go through that "indestructible" phase, where we believe that nothing can hurt us. Perhaps, that's your answer???
