My RO said no problem to ocassional beer or wine - he seems to heve a much stronger opinion against liquor. That worked for me as beer was always my drink of choice and a cold one going down does feel good on my pipes now. The taste is not as good as it once was but making a come back. Cheers to all for the Holidays.
