Hey!
Re: Alcohol. I just love to have a drink but have given it up because of the same reasons that Christine has: 3X occurrence! can't afford a 4th! BUT any kind really burns my mouth anyway. I even tried a Bailey's with lots of milk but even that burned! My doctor has said NO Alcohol....period......he says the reason is that it changes the lining of your mouth! In what way, I'm not sure but I don't think it's in a good way! Bummer!!!!!!!! On a really bad day, I even thought about putting a drink in my feeding tube and then I thought......DA! how stupid is that! Ha!
