Alcoholic beverages can act as a potential migraine trigger and it significantly affects migraine frequency. 

According to a recently published web‐based, cross‐sectional, questionnaire study, alcoholic beverages, particularly red wine, trigger the migraine and show significant impact on alcohol consumption behaviour.

A total of 2197 participants with a migraine from the well‐described Leiden University Migraine Neuro‐Analysis (LUMINA) study population were selected and evaluated for reasons behind alcohol abstinence, the time between alcohol consumption and migraine attack onset, alcoholic beverage consumption and self‐reported trigger potential.

Seven hundred eighty-three of the participants reported alcohol beverages as a migraine trigger. Twenty-five per cent of patients stopped consuming alcoholic beverages because they were aware of fact that drinking alcohol might trigger migraine. Out of the all alcoholic beverages, red wine found to be the most common trigger as provoking migraine attack in 77.8% of participants and vodka as the least prevalent as a trigger only 8.5% of the participants. One-third of the participants showed rapid (<3 h) time of onset and 90% had a start <10 h independent of beverage class.
