how about a drink

just wondering really, how do you go on with havin a drink, if having one at all??
i realise what its like to be young and found it hard at first, all my mates going out all the time, and i stopped drinking for 18 mnths, not that being young matters.

does anyone drink?
what do you drink?
what drink affects you?


yes i am talking about alcohol
 
when i was really sick, I would have an occasional glass of wine or 2 & would pay for it dearly, during & after........now that i'm on Remicade & feeling great for the most part I can drink with the best of them!!
Remicade has really worked miracles for me, for the most part its like nothing is wrong me. Any symptoms/side effects that i do have are tolerable to say the least!
 
Good news for me is that I never liked alcohol to begin with. Not even wine.
(yuck, moldy grapes!) :ylol2:
But it is always hard when I'm at a social event and can't have alcohol with
everyone else. I just sit there with my apple juice :)
I've been on constant meds for 2 years, so alcohol is out of the question.
 
I have a drink very rarely. I just don't have a taste for any kind. When I do I usually only have a couple of sips and then I'm over it.
 
I haven't had a drink since my diagnosis over a year ago. Any alcohol causes diarrhea for me.

I used to be a very heavy drinker and have never found it to cause me any trouble but I have recently cut down a lot and now I hardly drink at all.
 
i rarely drink, but when i do i try to stick to just one... or else i feel drunk very quickly. i'm better on shorts, like Jack Daniels & Coke, or a glass of Baileys, than i am on wine or beer. but i sometimes have a bottle of Bud.
 
When I was was flaring I hardly drank at all. On the rare occasion that I did, I found that a little bit of hard liquor was a lot easier to tolerate than beer. One bottle of beer, and I would be hurting for the next two days.

Now that I'm in remission, I have no problems with alcohol.
 
i enjoy a baileys with ice in the garden on a barmy summers evening. and a drink at christmas, one bottle will last the year though.

Drinking doesn't bother me unless it's in excess. Beer doesn't seem to bother me, but too much hard liquor does. I don't drink often, and rarely in excess. However I do remember one occasion a couple of years ago when I was in a bad flare around the holidays and I drank too much with a friend. It made my flare up worse than it already was.
 
Unfortunately, I have no problems regarding drinking at all. Yes, I get a hangover and feel dodgy afterwards but who doesn't?

Beer, lager, red wine, they all get me pissed and leave me skint.
 
Beers with a bitter hops taste tend to settle my stomach.

I was never much of a wine drinker, but I'm starting to enjoy a little bit every now and then.
 
I stopped drinking after I was diagnosed at 17. I was never a big drinker anyway so I don't miss it.

I still go out with friends and have a good time anyway :)
 
I can drink to the point of drunkenness when I'm not having any real symptoms. Unless i get drunk I don't pay for it more than eating spaghetti with real beef or something. I can do a glass of wine or two easy when I'm having no symptoms and not have any problems.

When I have any sort of symptoms, I just don't drink at all. It's not worth it. Everybody is different though.

I am on meds too, and while I haven't yet drank this year I'm sure I will at one point or another, but not excessively and most likely wine or beer.
 
I like rum and coke. When I order them at bars, I felt fine especially in my stomach. But when I mixed them myself years ago, it use to make me sick. I realized after I wasn't mixing them right. I would put in a shot, and top it up with Coke, and add a ice cube. After 3-4 drinks or so, I'd feel sick. At a bar, they pack your glass with ice and add enough Coke to colour the drink which isn't very much. So I started packing my glass with ice and adding Coke enough to fill a shot glass or two, and never had a problem after. All that Coke previously was turning my stomach.
 
I hardly drink... in general, it tastes nasty and makes me feel funny!
Sometimes have a beer and cigar when I'm on holiday, but had enough after one glass... just about the same time the cigar is making me cough!

i drink occasionally. i drink vodka with coke or lemonade, champagne, wine, archers, baileys, apple sours, becks veir.

anything really.. dont like stella though.

i get drunk very quickley so i dont have a lot.

to be honest.. i would love to be able to go out and get absolutley trollied like all of my friends are doing.. and it really annoys me cos i cant go out with them cos ill be roped into drinking alot more than i should. but the GI already thinks my problems are due to drinking( no one believes im an 18 year old who doesnt get trollied every night!) i only drink on special occasions.
 
I come from a pretty big drinking family, and there was time when I would be consuming at least 10 standard drinks 3 or 4 times a week, these days though with work commitments and being a bit more responsible I probably have 1 big drinking night every 2-3 weeks.

I only drink beer now, I use to drink scotch but it gives me ruff guts the next day.
 
Drinking doesn't bother me, at times it seems to calm my gut.
I've been known to take a shot or two of black velvet or something before I go out.

Plus lately I have a drink to help me sleep at night,,,,not working to well,,,,it's 1am and I am on my 4th drink of vodka on ice...LOl
 
I drank 3/4 of a bottle of rum last night and it actually seemed to really help the gut. The best formed BM's I've had in awhile. Maybe that's my CURE FOR CROHNS1111!!!!11

But that's the BEST time to be sittin' in a tree, in my opinion.


edit - Oh, and Drew - super congrats on "The best formed BM's I've had in awhile."

I'm only 23 but I used to be a huge drinker and never experienced any problems with it. I rarely drink now but when I do drink, beer kinda upsets my stomach but I don't have any problems with liquor.
 
I LOVE Wine!! I was born in the Wine Country, and my mom is always giving me free wine. It definitely causes some issues for me, but sometimes I really want it!
I could never drink beer or hard alcohol, Ill be up all night with my Tummy :)
 
I drink my gluten-free beer as much as I can afford to. Also can tolerate any hard alcohol, ironically even rye! But i'm a born-and-raised vodka girl.

i just cant drink enough to get drink, Celiac wouldn't allow it! After i reach its limit, when i start getting severe pains, i have to stop...unfortunately.
