MY GUILTY CONFESION

I've always been a party girl too! Save the time I was sick! Just got back from the party capital of the world actually,lol.
And as long as you are safe, don't drink and drive, don't do hard drugs or any of the other dangerous stuff, have all kinds of fun!

I am a nerdy homebody non-party sort of girl..... but I am all for self-knowledge, and there's nothing wrong with being a party girl.... but as summer said, have fun, but be safe.

Well I find its best to put the glass to my lips, tip it up then swallow! :)
I don't see why it would matter really, the alochol absorbs in your stomach, the only thing I could see is you would dehydrate faster. I always take some immodim first, so I don't have to empty drunk :) rosemary I think you need to stop worrying and get drunk! Meet you on bourbon street? :)

Rosemary! I am missing the lower 1/3 of my colon (all total) and I can't drink nearly like I used to (and I used to be known as the family lightweight).

This topic reminds me of the time I went to a Halloween/Fall party, outdoors with bonfire, etc. The host was serving dark beer from a keg, recently made at a local bar in our town (and they were known for making excellent keg beer). So this wasn't some cheap beer, it tasted so good I might add. Had only 2 glasses.

Well that dark keg beer worked better than ANY bowel prep I've ever had to use (I've used bowel preps 13 times for procedures and/or 2 surgeries).

At the end of that episode, 12+ hours later, it was clear water exiting my system. I was then of course chilled, achy, almost feverish. Took a day or two to feel myself again.

I now add dark keg beer to my list of items to never consume. It was simply not worth it! I was so sick from enjoying myself for just a few hours.

interesting how we all react so differently to alcohol without use of or full use of colon. if poop ever gets too thick like from pasta or potatoes a bit of alcohol can break it right up for me. heheheh!

i'll be on Boubon Street slugging my pedialyte hehehehe! R

I've always had a really low tolerance for alcohol. Even when I was in college, years before I was diagnosed w/IBD, I'd have a few drinks and then spend the rest of the night throwing up. After doing that a few times, I decided it wasn't fun, and I won't drink more than a few sips of wine (never developed a taste for beer at all....). I always wondered if the trouble w/alcohol was related to the later IBD diagnosis, but it sounds like many of you have had a different experience.

lol i forgot about this topic lol :).... i am a very light weight meaning i get "drunk" easily! the party i was at i drank about 1 and a 1/2 of Carono however you spelll it lol it was suprisingly good .........i can see myself drinking that on a hot summer day :] but previous to that i was with my boyfriend and we started drinking bacardi ...i know hard liquor and i applude you all for drinking gatorade i didnt even think of that but i had about a good amount and my poop was good no loose stools or anything ....welll now that i think of it i went to the bathroom about 3 times but that was because we went to dennys prior to drinking ...i swear dennys tore my stomach UP!!!!!!but having a j pouch and drinking alchol is alright for me i tested it out and a nice amount but i wasnt slugish with my words or anything but still enough to feel it!

I just got cleared to eat and drink last week. Have a temp ileostomy and drinking beer hasn't bothered me at, I drink water with it and other than going to bathroom a little bit more, no side effects the next day...curious to see what happens after my reversal and am using j-pouch. I can give the beer up if I have to, just glad to have kicked uc butt and want my body back:)
