But a drink before bed can have a serious effect on sleep, often aggravating insomnia rather than eliminating it. And for those people at risk for alcohol dependence, drinking regularly before bed, over time, could lead to dependency.

“Alcohol disrupts sleep,” says Kirk Brower, M.D., a U-M addiction psychiatrist who leads the research. “It may help people initially fall asleep, but as it wears off when blood alcohol levels drop during sleep, it will cause a person to wake up or have restless sleep.”

I find this to be true, I will sleep for about 2/3hrs and wake up more exhausted, with an extremely dry throat and it takes me over an hour to get back to sleep, sometimes much longer.

To me the risks out-weight any possible gain and with the risk of dependency I see this topic the same way I would see "does a little insert drug name before bed affect sleeping?’

Particularly with minors on the board.
