drunk?

p.s by fully off meds i just mean preed and see how i go if i flare again or what. i know im on asacol for life x

hmmm, yeh i drink apple juice a lot these days since diagnosed. didnt think of mixing it with vodka. thanks x

I am not a big drinker but I do have a few drinks on occasion. Normally I stay away from carbonated beverages. I can not drink beer at all (gives me migraines) as well as wines. But I will have a Bay Breeze once in a while, it's vodka, cranberry juice and pineapple juice.

I don't like to drink that much because of me being on 6mp but once in a while I indulge. No binge drinking though.

I've gotten drunk but it's not fun the next day. I hate beer. Wine is easy on my gut. Margaritas are the easiest I think... and tastiest. Mojitos are okay if I take it easy. I dunno... if I have rum or tequila in other forms it tears me up. Vodka's not bad. Personally I wouldn't go off meds, and if I did, I wouldn't drink.

the only alcohol i cope well with is red dry wine. i am having one glass of it every evening at dinner.
sometimes i get drunk also with it. off course, i try to avoid this.

So far ive been good with most alcohol as long as im not flaring hard core, started back after most recent flare testing the waters with some rum and fruit juice, then tried beer found it didnt sit quite as well but wasnt horrible. Last weekend got good and drunk for the first time since my flare started in december i drank beer for my friends birthday...for about 14 hours straight...probably not even the smartest idea if i was fully healthy! but meh it was worth it, didnt actually feel horrible the next day no worse then just a usual hangover :), id suggest starting light and seeing if it bothers you or not!

I can't drink at all when I am in a flare.

When healthy, I still can't drink beer.

However, when healthy I like to drink Captain Morgan's Rum and decaf green iced tea(that I brew myself)  or red wine.  I can't drink more than 2 drinks though even when healthy

If I get drunk I get the poopies. I can have a couple of glasses of wine with dinner with no ill effects though. I try to avoid hard liquor and beer.

It doesn't make me flare but I get increased D for a day.

Sometimes I can tolerate dairy during flares, sometimes not.

If I can, I'll have a white russian.
If I can't, I'll have a black russian.

I normally drink vodka/tonic or a seabreeze or madras

but in a flare, no carbonation and restricted juices are best for me

Don't ask me why I don't react to Kahlua since I have to be very cautious in my caffeine intake otherwise.

haha kiolm, nice.

I used to think I could drink some with UC, but since taking better care of everything I have stayed away from it. From the times I have drank, I can tell you that it is hit and miss as to if I'll have adverse effects. When I do, I bleed more easily and in general feel sort of poisoned. These were times when I was not in remission completely (which I don't know if I've ever spent much time in remission, really). Other times I was just fine.

I don't think it ever caused a flare though. I would say you could still go for it occasionally as long as you're willing to make the trade-offs. Just make sure that you can drink with the medicine you are on. I did that when I took 6mp. I asked the pharmacist and she seemed to think a drink or two now and then wouldn't hurt... but not to overdo it. The liver is important!

When I was in Germany I did the white wine with lemon fizzy water. It wasn't bad. It wasn't called anything over there and that was the first time I'd ever heard of it so you just probably have to ask. The lemon fizzy water was called Süsselsprüdel. I think it's my new favorite German word, too.

I think I'll mostly stick to margaritas though... maybe it's something about all the ice and stuff that keeps me from having any effects the next day.

Oh. Also. Getting drunk just murders my knees (arthritis) so if you have UC-joint pain, be careful.
