All I can say is that it now will take me about 6 months to get through a small bottle of white wine. We might even use it in the odd recipee. No tolerance for alchohol at all

Several weeks ago, another post on this topic was made.

Based on the replies to that, I tried drinking again for the first time after diagnosis.

I found what many people had posted to be true. That drinking was actually helpful.

Somehow hazarded an explanation as to why. Since there's not a search engine on this page, you'd have to manually scan the for the old post. It was very interesting, though.

Lotte, I think this is the post you're referring to.

Oh yeah.. I have become a cheap drunk.. haha.. ;)

Christin - thanks for the post, but that's not the one!

I wasn't a member of the board then, It was a more recent post on alcohol. Some people said that it was actually beneficial and someone tried to guess why.

You gave me a good idea for saving posts as URL links though. Often I see great posts and then can never find them again. But if I save them as URL's then I can reread them or share when someone else asks the same question. Thanks

I rarely drink. I've had a few margaritas since being diagnosed and with the exception of one (that one was a doozy!), have tolerated them well without any ill effects. I'm looking forward to having more than one margarita when I complete my degree this summer! Rather than go through graduation, I plan to celebrate with family and friends and lots of margaritas. Guess I'll find out what happens after TWO! LOL I haven't had a drink since...hmmm...don't remember! Guess it was a margarita though!

I'm finding myself liking it too much.. Right now, my balance SEEMS fine.. I want to enjoy that while I can, so I am backing off.. No sense asking for trouble..

Well, I know for a fact that smoking MJ helps a great deal, but had to give that up...as my Pain Dr. started taking random urine samples....I got into trouble needless to say...anyways...I haven't drank in ages either....guess I might try a glass of my favorite wine....blackberry wine!! LOL!! ;)

Strangley enough I need much more alchol to get a reaction tnen I once did. No hang-overs any more. Again---don't know why.

I am not drinking near as much as I used to before my dx. It doesn't seem to have any bad effects with my meds. My neuro told me not to, my Rebif nurse said I could. I just don't drink too much anymore.
