Joined: Nov 2005 Posts: 1,128 | I've never tried alcohol in my PEG -- I found there is a Lifetime Limit on how much you can drink, which you will recognize when you reach it, and I reached mine in 1994 -- Had a couple of tastes since then but essentially that was it! I did get to live in Germany before I hit the limit, so I got to consume a bottle or two of some of the best European beers, which are the best in the world and I'm sure that helped me get to that Lifetime Limit quickly!
