Brief Answer:
If it alchohol, don't use it.

Detailed Answer:
Hi, I had gone through your question and understand your concerns.

If drink you use contains alchohol, then I recommend not to use it.

One of signs of progressive subdural hematoma is conscience depressed, so alchohol could interfere with right diagnosis and evaluation of your condition.

Another think to mention is depressing of coagulation proprieties of blood by damaging liver function, so alcohol may cause enlargement of hematoma.

Hope this answers your question. If you have additional questions or follow up questions then please do not hesitate in writing to us. I will be happy to answer your questions.
