Hi Gerry!
I'm doing pretty well! I've been crazy busy because I was running a huge festival of new theatre, dance, architecture, art, etc at school. We did 70 performances of 32 pieces in 8 days! Now I'm trying to catch up on the papers I have due at the end of the semester that I put off! But, in a couple of weeks it will be summer vacation! Yay! I really really can't wait.
And I can't imagine being a diabetic on top of the IBS. You do so well to manage all of it! I think we all cheat every once in awhile- I know I do. ![](/messageboards/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif)
How are you?

Well, I had my last "lot's" of drinks for my 21st. Now even a sip of alcohol gets the old belly gurgling and complaining and major d follows about 1/2 an hour later if I try to have more, just not worth it for me I guess. It's not easy when you're young, but still possible. Good luck!

...now I'm fine with an occasional drink or two after food. The only thing I know I can't have is stout ...the last time I did, it put me in hospital.

I can't have grape juice so drank small amounts for each fothe 4 cups of wine... YUMMY! I love being at their house- he's a professional wine connoisseur... 15 types of VERY good kosher for passover wines...
I have officially broken tradition today, but am keeping passover.. I'll post elsewhere though..

Hee heee. Uh, noooo. I had my bday celebration over the weekend and I couldn't have been more off the diet if I'd LIT THE SHOTS ON FIRE BEFORE GULPING THEM DOWN.
Well, at least that's what my belly felt like the next morning. ![](/messageboards/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/tongue.gif)
I had a good night tho. I think after my trip to England, I'm going to relinquish my amateur drinker status and just turn pro. Gotta get sponsorship tho... those shooters can be expensive! ![](/messageboards/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif)
Long story short, it all goes to quality of life. And I want my life to be punctuated by rich moments, and not to live in a completely safe bubble. The big picture mandates that I keep myself well overall, that I destress and mind my diet seriously, so that I can walk through life a well person and not someone in constant pain. And then I pick my moments to shatter my health with a slice of lasagne and a world of hurt later!! ![](/messageboards/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif)
Good to remind myself every now and again (but not constantly!) that if I pay the piper I can splurge! Cos if I didn't, I'd be more tempted to cheat a little every day, but then I'd be a sickie constantly! ![](/messageboards/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif)

I barely ever drink and am in MANY social settings where there's drinking. If it makes you feel sick people will understand.

I feel the same way.. i'd rather throw a few back every once in awhile, than have a boring life. (not that you need alcohol to have fun) but Every once in awhile its worth it!
