Hi,
I've given up alcohol for the past 9 months, and it has helped with my IBS symptoms. For me, even one drink will give me a bad reaction the next morning (D, cramps, headache). It really sucks because I am young and almost every social gathering is centered around alcohol. I get tired of trying to explain why I am not drinking, but lately I've just said that "I can't due to a medical condition." Luckily, many of my friends where I live know that I can't drink and never give me a hard time. But I do miss it once in a while -- especially margaritas  .
