According to a 2007 study from Sweden, having 3 alcoholic beverages per week cuts the chances of developing rheumatoid arthritis by 50%. Apparently alcohol inhibits the imflammatory process.
Don't know if the same principle applies to Sjogren's. Don't everybody volunteer to research this at once!

Heck, I'm in!
I'll start my research this week!
I've always been a little nervous to be in a clinical trial, but I'll give this a shot (no pun intended!)
Hi Janna! So glad to be participating in this with you ;)!
Cathy
Me too ;D Large whisky with lots of ice please.
Kathyx
Too bad we don't live near each other! We could do the research together!
I was just thinking the same thing!!!
Patze
Well that let's me out, I'm allergic to alcohol...........................oh well. :-\ I could just drink something decaffinated with a cherry in it. ;D
Take care girls and have a great time with it, just don't drink and drive, PLEASE.
Pooh

I think alcohol inhibits a lot of processes doesn't it??
Patze i think you can get done for Walking ( or maybe in your case stumbling) under the influence of alcohol. Also where is your pic gone girlfriend?
Either way i'll be in the trial. Don't know if i'll make three drinks though. I'm a cadburies drinker. A glass and a half and i'm anyones. Anymore and i'm everyones. Ohh that's naughty.
Bad pud
Bad, bad Pud!!!!
Patze
I'm sure I tried that! :(
but very good at it tee hee hee
Pud
Now Pud, you're going to get me into trouble! ;)
Patze
Who me??
*total innocence*
Pud
Okay Pud, I'm going to have to start editing my responses, otherwise, I'm going to get myself kicked off of this board! ;) Silly Pud!
Patze
Hey gals,
It's just 3 drinks A WEEK not 3 drinks PER DAY. Just a reminder, in case.
LOL,
Sue
Come on, 3 drinks per week! It's just like potato chips, you can't have just one.
Epson
I second that motion!
Kathyx
Ooooh pud you bad girl you !!!!
Make mine a brandy and hot chocolate please, with extra cream on top oh and a flake in it too. Three times a week would be just great for my inflammation, except for the extra inflammation it would cause round my hips and belly lol !!!!
Wen:
That sounds delicious on a chilly night! Make me one too!
Sue
yumm wen
that just sounds devine. i'll be in that. We'll compromise and have low fat chocolate and lite milk. I already have inflammation on the tummy and hips what the heck.
Off topic but relevant:
I had a medical yesterday and the nurse told me to get on the scales and tell her my weight. So i did. the only thing is she didn't believe me when i said 54kg. I only shaved off a few kilos. Like 47kg. I cant see the problem with that
Pud
Oh Wen, that does sound so delish, I'll also join you for a round, but make mine just with plain old dark chocolate!
