Actually, I started a thread on thyroid issues related to alcohol problems, a while ago, I think it was on the General Discussion forum but can't find it now.
I lost it all in the fuss of overcoming alcohol addiction, but I have done a good bit of research. There is a book called "Your Guide to Metabolic Health" by Gina Honeyman-Lowe and John C. Lowe-- but it seems to be unavailable at the moment, perhaps due to their divorce and ensuing legal actions. It is a very detailed and helpful book if you can get a hold of it.
For more info, you can also visit:
drlowe.com---fibromyalgia, hypothyroidism, thyroid hormone resistance
I'm still in the early stages of figuring this out...even though I do believe the two-- thyroid and alcohol-- are interrelated.
Thank you all for the input. Please keep posting as you find new things out!
