To chime in, I love beer & wine...and whiskey but it's a really bad idea for me to drink it in more then just health aspects (I get rather lippy) so I refrain.

I can't drink wine anymore, it burns as bad as hard alcohol for me. I've been told by my ENT not to drink beer anymore, which is tough. I've always had a mild allergic reaction to it anyway but it never has kept me away long. I love it. Nothing like a nice cold beer and it helped wash down the few solids I can eat anymore.

Anyway, you've got to listen to your body and know yourself. If it's a hangup or potentially harmful, why do it to yourself?

just mho.
