Given up coffee cause it gave me terrible drying out & joint pain...

Approx. 3x a week I have some alcohol - I swapped red wine because of drying effect on mouth for white wine... which is better. I'd prefer a beer, if it wasn't for the calories...

Cheers!

not sure if i should admit... but I have a wine almost nightly.. it eases all my pains and my worries.  if I have more than that tho.. i have the worst eye symptoms in the morning.  I do think my alcohol relief is making all my problems worse tho.. just a gulity thought.   I still cant help myself from my nightly pleasure.  It takes all the edge off.  I should probably only have one without any negative results in the am, i just tend ti have just one or tow more.  the daily glass of wine or champagne is recommended with many cancer alternative treatments.  Those Italians have a glass at each meal!! without negative effects.. I am sure its all with moderation.. But moderation with anything like bread..chocolate..coffee..  i have yet to have  galss with each meal... I should probably try that instead of 2 to 4 at a time. :) "SALUTE" ~blessings and hugs

I have a Beer maybe once a month, Although I love my Kokopelli White Merlot. I will drink a bottle a week. I glass of wine a day is actually good for your heart, It does make my mouth dry as wine is a dry drink. But i just mix a little water in with it and make sure i drink water while I'm drinking it and I don't ever have any issues with it. I actually spoke with my Rheumy about this and he said in moderation its fine but wouldn't recommend binging or turning into a alcoholic anytime soon  ;)
