Outside of the obvious judgment impairing qualities, alcohol will thin your blood. It will make you bleed a lot more. Drinking before, the night before, or after a body modification procedure is a very poor idea. Unless you want to bleed more.

Since alcohol weakens and dehydrates the body and thins the blood—it is recommended that alcohol not be combined with suspension. Use of alcohol should be avoided for at least 24-72 hours priors to suspending. In fact, many people abstain from alcohol for as long as a week. In general, alcohol dulls and takes away from the experience of suspension.

Helix Piercing

The helix piercing is any piercing through the rim of the cartilage (thus making it susceptible to complications such as Ear Collapse if care is not taken to use proper tools and procedures; for example, Piercing guns have been shown to be capable of causing cartilage to shatter). The innermost part of the helix (closest to the head) is sometimes called an Ear Head Piercing. Paul King adds,

"In the West the helix piercing is considered only as adornment. However, helix piercings are found on every continent and in many traditional cultures have great importance.

The Dayak of Borneo (tribal names such as Iban and Punan) would wear bear canines in their upper ear cartilage, often connected with intricate bead work. This was considered a sign of a brave headhunter. In the Lmasala clan of the Samburu (Kenya), the mothers of warriors wear their sons' circumcision earrings in their cartilage during their warriorhood."
