I am not sure if it is only once in a while. All I know is that it is hard on the liver and our livers are already so stressed from meds. It is probably a good idea to avoid it just to be on the safe side. Emm Posted by Emm on February 28, 2003 at 00:48:39NOTE: this message has been transfered from the old CysticFibrosis.com forums.
Drinking everyonce in a whole is not going to hurt you as long as you do it in MODERATIONS. I am going to skip the whole not 21 bit because I was once young, wild and crazy. Now i am just older, wild and crazy. <img src="i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif" border="0"> In my experiance, and I have had PLENTY.*Alochol reduces the effect of antibotics and can have serious side effects when mixed with other medications. *Alochol dehydrates you! A couple of drinks will not hurt. But several drinks-it does not have to be sloppy hung over drunk either-not only make you feel extremely thirsty. it will also pull any excess fluids out of your already hydrated deprived mucus.I have never had any seriuos long term side effects and I used to be a serious power drinker. However, I could tell that coughed alot more and alot harder! And now that I cut back and trying to take better care of myself, I can really tell now. My bigest concern is when I was also diagnossed with diabetes and the effect on my blood sugar. However, even my DR told me that I just have to see how I react and how the insluin and the alochol reacts together.
