It's best to avoid alcohol, or any substance, before getting an in-home massage in Austin, TX. Ideally, you should wait at least 12-24 hours after drinking. Alcohol can amplify the effects of a massage, which can lead to dizziness, nausea, or even fainting, especially if you're sensitive to changes in blood pressure. Plus, it can make it hard to communicate about how much pressure you want, which could lead to discomfort or even injury.
Dehydration: Alcohol is a diuretic, which means it can cause fluid loss and lead to dehydration. This can make the massage effects feel worse.
Impaired Feedback: Drinking can dull your nerve endings, reducing your ability to feel touch. This complicates how you communicate about pressure intensity during the massage.
Increased Risk of Injury: Alcohol can impair your judgment and coordination, which raises the risk of injury during or after the massage.
Interference with Massage Benefits: Alcohol can counteract the benefits of a massage, negating the increased blood flow and toxin release that are supposed to help you.
Ethical Considerations: I prioritize client safety, and I am uncomfortable providing a massage to someone who's been drinking, or actively under the influence of any substance.
