Anyone had wine?

I would like to have a glass of wine for New Years. I dont dump on sugar, so I am thinking I should be okay...what are your thoughts? anyone had it yet?

I have, several times. I find I can either have no more than half a glass, if I drink at a normal rate, or I can have a full glass, but sip it very slowly. It definitely hits me harder than it used to - I used to be able to polish off at least a bottle on my own, without being 'drunk'. Now one glass does it for me. The good news is, that the effect also leaves more quickly. I'd say don't over do it, but sensibly, you might be just fine. I am.

Alcohol is probably the only this I have not attempted yet. I don't dump on sugars either but for some reason I cant bring myself to try alcohol of any kind. I would say that if you don't dump on sugars you should be fine. I may have to try it though for New Years while I am home. =) Kelli

I can tell you that I have. I can drink about 2 tablespoons and start feeling the effects in minutes & I mean about 5 minutes. I don't dump on sugar either. I can have a small glass of white or red wine about 1/3 full after a meal I just sip it slowly over about an hour. I also could have had several (full) glasses of wine pre-surgery. I haven't had anything else liquor wise and I'm just fine with that. I have a dose of cold medicine that put me on my a** though. haha

Our California doctor says that is one of the forbidden things...never...as he said even a small amount over time goes right to the liver and as we don't absorb and do things in the normal way, it is dangerous...don't...if you do...only take a few sips...don't...don't...check the book for dummies on this also...don't...also you can be leaving one vice and taking another vice...so don't...have a glass of water with lemon in it...

I had about 2 oz of white zinfandel on Christmas eve and it was wonderful! I sipped it slowly and had no problems! Never even felt any effects from it, probably because I drank it so slowly (over an hour). I say GO FOR IT!! ENJOY! Vi
