i find that the easiest drinks to tolerate are clear (or close to) and low-sugar. (of course, avoid dairy drinks like white russians, and if carbonation is hard on you, take that into account.) so i avoid, for example, amaretto sours (  ) and beer, but am okay with a glass or two of white wine, or a vodka tonic/vodka & cranberry. vodka's generally the safest hard liquor. so a martini without a lot of sugary liquers should be pretty okay - but it'll also be really strong, so make sure you make all other circumstances (like drinking it on a stomach full of safe, low-fat, high-SF food) in your favor.

It's not worth it. Don't cheat. Truly. Stick with the program until you really ARE stable. Once you have that Big Mac for the first time, and it goes down just fine, you have a pretty good idea you're "good to go." But that takes a LONG time to get there. Don't rush it.
No, there was no pain, no gas, after my first dead cow carcass, not even after my first cuppa coffee or my first salad. None whatsoever. However, I had a little trouble after my first real ice cream. Dairy, in large amounts, is still a problem for me.
9804, it's just soooooo important to get better, it's not worth the cheating. I know, because I used to cheat with coffee, and it wasn't until I gave up that coffee that I began to "heal."

Trust me, the end of that project at work was worth cheating!  Two years working on a DVD was worth the strawberry margarita and a little bit of cheese and 2 stuffed mushrooms. Now I just have to implement it...Heh, training some of my volunteers may make me want anothe drink! 
So far, no attack, but I am going to be careful today.
Dead cow now scares me. I had the LOVELIEST attack in 2004 after some beef & brocolli. I dont' think I've had a bite of beef since. Though I am much, much, much, MUCH more stable now, I haven't been the same since and it took following the diet the better part of a year to get to this point.
I can't do lots of dairy, either. At the very least, it makes me stinky! 
However, I am at the point where I know my limits.

mmm we have similar taste in drinks.
For some reason cocktails bother me a lot less than more normal drinks like beer etc. I drank sooo many strawberry daiquiris on holiday and they didn't affect me.
Of course I NEVER drank on an empty stomach (if I do it's enough to send me to the ER with cramps) and tried to eat very safely that whole day. I get cramps when I drink too much but this is more hangover than anything.
You're right to be careful today. mmm margarita...mmmm

Hi Bevrs, I've had almost exactly the same reaction as you.
However, I haven't even tried ice cream. That bothered me
before I even got the bad IBS a year ago. There's something
characteristically different about ice cream and most other
dairy. Unfortunately, I don't know what it is though. -Bob

drinks, they're usually sweet though. -Bob
