Since Ive had OC 3 times and not taken a sip of alchol, I cant blame the recurrences on the booze. Last summer I toasted my son turning legal age with a pina coloda and boy was it the best thing Ive ever tasted!
Im sure Charm will speak up, we used to have opposite opinions on this topic. Anything done in moderation, like having a beer occasionally should not hurt you. Beer and wine are probably better than drinking hard liquor like the rum in my pina colada.
