It all depends on your body. Everyone tolerates things differently. Luckily, I don't notice much of a change in my IBS when I consume moderate amounts of some alcohol. I drink wine almost daily. Just a glass or two at dinner. Red or white. It doesn't seem to bother me. But, on days where my stomach is iffy, I don't have any.
I also do well with vodka. And, strangely enough, Irish whiskey agrees with me in small doses. I love beers, but can't really tolerate them well. If I have more than one, I know I'm in for some gas and pain and possibly D. Fruity mixed drinks are totally out for me! But they're so sweet they gross me out anyway, so I don't miss em a bit.
However, in excess, all of the above will give me IBS symptoms without fail. The trick for me is moderation and a full tummy. Even then you have to be careful. Listen to your body!
