Although once a very devoted beer drinker, I'm now limited to the "very occasional" sorghum based beers or ciders. Being grain-free for a couple years now, even the non-gluten grain beers give me gut distress so I recently put the kibosh on those items as well. Because of this, my alcohol tolerance has went from the notorious "man who can drink everyone under the table" to the "man who gets drunk eating butterscotch candy".

I've been a fan of single malts (where the gluten and grain compounds (trace sugars) have been distilled out), Reisling wine, and malt-free ciders (many popular "ciders" are actually malt beverages (akin to Zima and Mike's Hard Lemonade) that are cider-flavored, such as Hornsby's and Woodchuck. I'm a Strongbow man myself. Although, I am considering making my own ciders in the near future.

I'm now where two fingers of scotch in my glencairn glass will keep me going pretty much all evening. Just enough to accompany a nice cigar. And this is a once, maybe twice weekly occurrence.

When I was in high school we had a cheer that we used at football games It went like this:

Ice cold beer
Makes you want to cheer!
Ice cold gin
Makes you want to win!
Ice Cold Duck
Makes you want to...


...SCOOORRRRE!!!

Our mamas didn't like us using that cheer.

Don't need Brandy to be ra*** but if I remember correctly she did have that effect.

I agree with this, if you drink light beer. LOL!

For me, it was a medical issue that was unrelated to alcohol that left me not liking the feeling of buzz or intoxication (kind of NDE), I don't even like taking cold medicine unless the pain is too much. Also having a few alcoholics in my life, and seeing the damage it causes over time (not just to the alcoholic). Have no desire to go down that path.

Just you concentrate on keeping well. That's a difficult story to share. If anyone on here thinks your story is too personal, or is embarrassed, then it's their problem, not yours.

All the best,

Scott.

well it was only relevant because of what my Dr had said to me about drinking and smoking pot
i think i pretty safe its been 8 years the chances of it coming back at this stage would be something like 30 million to 1 from what i have read
