Wondering If You Find Drinking Alcohol Makes A Difference?
Wondering If You Find Drinking Alcohol Makes A Difference?
I don’t really drink but have met some friends who drink socially. I’m more willing to participate in these happy hours with them, but have found the last two times something has aggravated the IBS. Last night I drank one Moscow mule, and the other time I don’t know if it was the recipe or not, but I ate a casserole - and I regretted it for a few hours. I can easily not drink a drop if it causes this. Just trying to be social and not such a stick in the mud. But, pain will be the dictator.
