Curiosity got the better of me

I've been hearing for a year now how chronics, at least most chronics apparently, can drink alcoholic beverages without fear of reprisals from the beast. Well, after over a year of not tempting fate, I put that theory to the test tonight. I had four glasses of Berringer White Zinfandel without so much as a shadow. I gotta say...IT WAS GOOD!!!

It is up to YOU to educate yourself and then help your doctor plan your treatment. If you just sit down in front of your doctor and say "make me better" you are setting yourself up for a great deal of pain.

I think we can drink without added fear since we know we'll be hit no matter what.

Very happy for you.  I am curious to hear about small amounts of alcohol for you (1 glass instead of 4). Though I haven't tested this thoroughly, I seem to get hit about an hour after one beer, but if I keep drinking--5 or 6--I don't get hit. I've heard of similar experiences with others also. Anyone else?

Hey I had a glass of the Berringer last night at dinner -- never once triggers a hit for me!!
Beer and red wine trigger a lot of head pain....of all varieties, so I stay away from them.
I'm a fan of the white wines or the hard liquour cabinet (Bring on the jungle juice.....and for the generation who has no clue what "jungle juice" and "beer pong" are...jungle juice is Rum, Vodka, and Red Fruit Punch of some variety!)

Memory issues? Sheeeeit....
I already can't remember my own name half the time! hehe
That all started back on topamax...I think the topamax killed more memory brain cells than alcohol ever could! They should have a "this is your brain. this is your brain on topamax." commercial. That would be QUITE amusing.
So yeah....chronic in Philly...where by the way, the weather is VERY COLD!!! But I'm on spring break so I don't care
