Doe:
Are you crazy?! Do you have a death wish?! Seriously!
Alcohol is one of the biggest IBS no-nos. There is no such thing as an IBS-safe alcoholic drink. However, if you want to challenge your IBS big time and risk an attack, then having an alcoholic drink is definitely the way to do it!
I, personally, cannot touch a drop. Even a thimbleful of alcohol would send me into a downward spiral of IBS-D and agony. Even thinking about having an alcoholic drink irritates my IBS!
Evian water is the strongest drink I drink and I can always walk a straight line afterwards! I would highly recommend a good bottled water, and the bonus is, it looks just like Vodka!

I appreciate your concern. And yes, it is a trigger. However, we are all different. For example, I eat dairy yogert and do fine with it. I can drink certain things and they don't bother me, others do. I don't drink to get drunk but I do like to have a couple when I am out on the town. I drink about 4 liters of water a day by the way. I am IBS-C so it is a MUST! Thanks again for your concern.

Hey Davina,
A hundred years ago, before I discovered Jack, a martini was my drink of choice. It's all booze except for a tiny splash of vermouth, so I can see why it would be easy on you. Martinis on the rocks are fabulous! Goferit.
Ironically, in 1967 the diet everyone was on at the time was "Martinis and Whipped Cream," an extreme version of the now-popular carb craze. It excluded everything except booze, beef, and more booze. You could eat all the cheese you wanted, as well as chocolate pudding with tons of whipped cream. I was in pig heaven. Lost 30 pounds!
One side effect of the diet: even though I was always a "D", this was the one time I became "C". When I finally "performed," weeks later -- that's WEEKS later -- I gave birth to a giant football. It wasn't pretty.....

LOL! Thanks for the graphic image, Bev!
I am definately saving this thread- good info for me to experiment with 3 months from tomorrow on my big 21 B-day!
Now I will know what to get places- vodka seems to be the only thing that never bothers me.

I also have C and do okay with vodka martinis. I only have one, though, to be safe and because they are strong :D I guess it depends where you go out (in reference to finding out about martinis). You can always ask the bartender if the place doesn't have a drink menu. I always try something new, so I can't recommend one kind.
I also find that I can handle one or two LIGHT beers (low carb included) or Mojitos (light rum, sugar, mint, and soda water). I eat the mint, which my friends think is wierd, but I just tell them it keeps my breath fresh all night!
