I can have maybe a sip or two of wine, and usually I will still get some pain. Anything else and I suffer! Brittany, I had my 21st birthday in November and it was okay since most of my friends know I don't drink. It was sort of annoying though, since I hosted my party, bought up for everyone, and then let everyone else get trashed in my apt!! I'm sure yours will go fine as long as you can make it clear that you do not WANT to drink because it will make you sick...Good luck!

Wine, beer, and margaritas---YES (on a full tummy only)
Fruity drinks, those with a milk base, or "hard" drinks like marinitis---NO (they cramp my stomach)

If I am having a good day I can drink wine, or occasionally gin and tonic. Beer and lager are a definate no as they make me really bloated.
The funny thing is that after a year of not drinking I am a complete lightweight. After one glass of wine I fall asleep and have to crawl up the stairs to bed - something that provides Tara with lots of laughs!!!

I can't drink at all anymore. Between my stomach and migraines alcohol always gets me one way or another. My hubby has a permanent designated driver.

Yes, I am in school. And no one really pressures me to drink; since most people know about my IBS, they recognize that's a problem. Not to mention that there aren't any major times to drink since we're all doing work. Besides, if I drank, who would be the designated "drunk escort"?

Oooh I love that title. LOL I'm usually the DD too, but that's okay because at our bar, the DD always gets free soft drinks!

I can drink buckets, but only if I'm stable (I'm a D). Wine is a big no-bo, though! Just cuts through me by fire! No big surprise tho, cos I'm on a Ph diet. Nothing too acidic, or else I get D.

A little bit of Jack relaxes my tummy muscles when I'm cramped, especially when the cramps are caused by nerves. I can have one drink only (preceded, of course, by a soluble fiber). If I have two, I'll pay the price later, so it's just ONE, and not every day, sometimes not even every week. As a matter of fact, I haven't had a Jack in over 2 months. I haven't needed it -- no cramps! Yaay.

P.S.: Wine bothers my tummy, and champagne tears it up. If I have a "mixed" drink, it's usually a Screw Driver or Vodka Collins. I never mix my drinks, sticking to one kind only. I can sometimes get away with two Screw Drivers because the booze isn't nearly as strong as a Jack.
Is this too much info?
