is drinking bad ?

[TwistedTanya]

I have had many weekends drinking and it would be nice for a little while b/c I didn't cough as much but what was really happening was the mucous was just building up and I wasn't getting it up. So either later that night or the next day, I would feel so full of it and coughed for so long. Sometimes the excessive coughing would make me puke. You also have to be careful b/c alcohol thins your blood and if you ever get a bleed in your lungs, it will bleed a lot more and could cause you serious problems. There are a lot of carbs in the drinks too so if you have high sugars you need to be careful of that too. I think if you do drink, just be careful! I have cut WAY back due to declining health and more lung bleeds. Plus, I started getting to the point where I would have chest pains if I drank for than a couple mixed drinks. Just not worth it to me anymore.

[SeeEff]

I have CF & I don't drink.
Mostly because I simply don't like the taste of alcohol.
And also because I just don't need another problem with my body. I don't understand people who get some drunk that they hurl or have a hangover.
I vomit enough on my own - be from treatments or just coughing to hard.

but that's me.

i agree SeeEff. i don't drink because i don't want another problem with my body and i'm happy just the way i am without anything affecting my behavior. i also don't drink because i've had problems with my liver in the past and allergic reaction that messed with my liver. i don't drink cause i dont wanna take any chances. anything to make this short life a lil longer helps!
