Hi. Don't all doctors always tell you not to drink alcohol? The various leaflets about dry mouth recomend avoiding alcohol as it tends to dryness but the doctors haven't made a big thing of it. I am not going silly on it but feel that the occasional beer is so good for the way I feel about "the situation" that any negative effect is worth it. I'm not talking about any alcohol buzz here because I am not drinking enough to get there; just being able to enjoy the taste of, in my case, traditional cask condition beer.
By occasional, I am talking maybe once or twice a week have one drink. Maybe I am being silly but it doesn't feel like it.
