OK, ok, this post has come up MANY times, but since fresh blood is always around, I thought I would bring it up again.
What drinks does it seem like your tummy's can handle? I could handle lots at first, but now I am down to VOdka and those Schmirnoff Ice things, and they prolly won't last too much longer. Right now I when I am drinking at home I just pour vodka in random stuff, like RX Stress Arizona Iced Tea (can't order that somewhere!), the Schmirnoffs are for when I am out at a friends or somthing.
Does anyone know any names of and good (and simple) vodka drinks I can order when I go out next weekend? It is the big 2-1 next Saturday! maybe I'll just do shots.... yeah right LOL.
I guess this is what I get for partying too ytoung, I am finally old enough, but my body is aged like twenty years past what it should be, and I can't even go to a bar for a beer.
SO, I alread yhave suggestions from another thread started by Doe a couple months ago, I came up with so far:
Cosmos
Cape Cod (vodka and cranberry)
Vodka Gimlet (have to look up, I think it is lime and vodka)
Does anyone have an ok time with Triple SEct? been awhile since I had a drink with it, but I thought a kamikazee could be nice if Triple Sect is ok, maybe I will do a test at home first.
I used to be ok with rum, but I try to stay a way, the last time I drank Bacardi I went to sleep for the night and woke up still feeling really intoxicated. 
I know, I am a bad girl, can't help it 
I swear I am not an alchie (sp?) though.
Any input would be appreciated!
And Bev, don't think I can do Jack!

Hi Sheri,
I've been afraid to go back drinking yet. I know a lot of people have recommended vodka with cordial like lime or blackcurrant as being less hard on the tummy. I will be watching your progress intently!

I wish I had the problem of figuring out what to drink. I guess it's a simple answer for me: NOTHING!
Good luck though!

I'm a huge fan of vodka martinis, and I order them "dirty" -- which means olives and a little bit of salty olive juice splashed in there. Everybody either loves them or hates them. I love them. They are not carbonated, and I get a pretty good buzz going from just one or two. I don't know if you can handle gin -- most people can't -- but I'm also a huge fan of gin and grapefruit juice.
Again, you're really not supposed to drink but if you've been feeling really stable, you might be able to get away with it. Beer almost always gives me D the next day, even before I had IBS.
Basically, if you are going to drink, stay away from carbonation (that includes those smirnoff ice things), and don't drink too much. Also if extremely cold beverages are normally a problem for you, don't get frozen drinks. The Vodka in martinis is usually kept very cold, but there is no ice in the glass so that's a little better. PS it's hard to dance and not spill a martini!
Have a fun bday.

I'm jealous-you can actually DRINK! God, I only have to look at a Schmirnoff ice, the "lite" drink, and my gut starts screaming. If i want to get sick-all I have to do is drink & smoke...guaranteed IBS attack. I used to be able to drink, but not anymore...bout the most I can handle is a glass of wine once in the blue moon and ONLY during remission periods....ah those good old days of smoking cigarettes and drinkin' alcohol! You must have any iron stomach! How old are you anyway?

But, in England they drink tea!!!
Seriously, don't care for alcohol. -have no issues with it, personally. -just never really got into it. Did like "herb" when I was younger...but that's another story!
Anyway, with my psych meds I can't drink... And, a predisposition towards depressive episodes makes it unwise. However, I believe that anything in moderation is OK. Unless, medical advice indicates otherwise.
Lately, I cut down on coffee. I can tolerate a soda on occasion, but have given those up, too. -quite recently as a matter of fact.
To get to the point, I don't believe in imposing strict diets or labeling certain things as "forbidden fruit." If you can tolerate a drink now and then, more power to you!!!
-just thought I'd bend your ear a bit.
Take care & salud! Bob.

Why don't you get a Vampire in honor of Halloween?  It's cranberry juice, vodka, and Chambord. Just make sure you don't have it on an empty tummy and if I don't talk to you, have a happy birthday!
