I have never been given warnings etc about drinking, but I havent been a heavy drinker since high school.

I, personally, wouldnt drink anything now because my liver gets whacky so easily. I also am an epileptic so its not recommended, but that didnt stop me for years.

Everything in moderation is the key, but if you are having any liver issues or have had some in the past.....I recommended refraining.

In addition to the liver alcohol does dehydrate you.

And last but not least DONT DRINK AND DRIVE

My doctor always suggested that I didn't, but never said I could not, just that is better not too. He cited the reason Melissa gave, alcohol is hard on your liver as is antibiotics you need to take. Also alcohol tends to dehydrate you, which is not good for your lungs. So if you do drink make sure you drink lots of water. Finally he said never to drink so much that I would pass out as my breathing my not be good enough to provide oxygen while passed out. So I think its a personal choice but be smart about it.

Hmmm interesting.. about 2 years ago (no idea about CF) I had a binge drinking incident where I woke up at 3 in the afternoon the next day and let's see if I can explain it.. I woke up suddenly with my eyes wide open feeling like my body was on red alert.. I had these really intense wierd pain sensations in my brain and in my body. I felt like I almost didn't wake up and my body forced me awake to save me. The first thought I had was "oh my God, I've done some kind of permenant damage". This was definitely not a hangover. Over the next few months some wierd neurological (constant head pain) and eye issues started. I remembered my wife saying that sometimes when I would drink she would notice that it seemed like I stopped breathing and she would shove me and I would bolt upright and take a huge gasp. During this incident, she was away at the time. I often wondered if I went without breathing for a long time and it did some kind of damage. When I asked doctors about it most of them winced but then said it doesn't seem like I should be worrying about it. However, one neuroopthomologist said I "definitely could have expired that night". Anyway, at the time they were basing their opnion on thinking I was a "normal" person.. now it turns out I may have mild CF. Needless to say, I've stopped drinking.
