This weekend (Labor Day) there is a huge celebration in the town where Im from. ALL of my friends and family are there and the whole town just parties all weekend long. Up until last year labor day was one of my favorite times of the year cause I could drink and have a good time with everyone and then last year my IBS went extreme and I have not had a drink in over a year now. I havent even had a sip of anything since last June. BUT....this weekend I would really like to give it a try and just have like one cosmo or something like that. I just miss it sooo bad! Im not completely stable right now but Im not as bad as I have been in the past either. I keep changing my mind on whether or not I should drink! I know its totally up to me and I should just decide for myself but I guess I just want to hear someone say "Go for it!" and have an easy way out! I went through this in Highschool - I got really sick for awhile and totally quit drinking for close to a year and then when I tried it again it was almost like it helped a little! Who knows! What should I do??

I'm not going to be the one to say "go for it!" because I don't want that guilt hanging over my head if you get sick!  But I will tell you that even as sick as I am, I find I can drink if I eat bread first. Like, almost immediately before I'm going to drink (eating an hour prior doesn't work). Now, the thing is, I've never had a cosmo, and I don't think I've touched hard liquor in any way shape or form in over a year... I'm mostly a wine drinker, on the rare occasion that I indulge (a couple times a year). I don't know if that matters. But that's just my experience, anyway!
Whatever you decide to do, good luck and here's hoping you stay well!
PS - Wine totally settles my stomach... especially a good Port after dinner. Shhhh!

What kind of wine do you drink? Ive never tried it before. I have heard a lot of people say they do ok with it and some that dont but thats how it is with everything I guess.

I'm a white-wine drinker, when I do it, and it's almost always chardonnay. I never drink it for the sake of drinking it - and what's funny is that I've had a bottle in here for cooking, and I never drink any of it - but I used to love a glass with dinner.
When I go back home to visit my mom, I have chardonnay with every meal, and a tiny glass of port after dinner, and I'm fine. Probably if I tried that here at home, I'd die. LOL!
