help! wedding! alcohol!



Recommended Posts

I need to figure out what I should drink at my brothers wedding. Suffer from acid reflux and of course can't have carbonation. The wine kills me, tried that already. Also unsure about beer due to the hops. Please help

vodka and diet cranberry juice... low cal.... Be-careful as you will get drunk very fast.

Try vodka and Water then add crystal light to it for flavor.

I drink vodka and fruit punch crystal light. Maybe you can bring crystal light and just get vodka shots.

This may seem like a dumb question but... Why do you have to drink alcohol at all?

How about water.. Yeah Water is always good. You don't have to be a drunken mess in order to celebrate.. Just a thought

well sometimes being the only sober one in the room is no fun...also i've seen a 2 year vet post on these forums how she's been a beer drinker 2-3 times a week. It has carbonation and she's fine. Be extremely careful on the first go around of course but have a little fun!

I no issue with drinking. I like wine. I'm only 4 weeks postop so I'm still abstaining.

Buuuuut. Drinking is not a requirement and there's no reason why one cannot say, "Thanks but just Water for me."

Unless the wedding reception will turn into a bad after school special about peer pressure? ;-)

I think she wants to drink alcohol hence her question about alcohol options not alternatives. I'm sure not everyone who drinks a cocktail turns into a drunken mess.

She stated she suffers from acid reflux. alcohol cannot be good while taking acid reducing meds. who am I to say she can't drink. CHEERS darling drink up if its a special occasion worry about the repercussions later lol

Geeze people, i asked about some options and others opinions. People take things to such a crazy level. You don't know me so you should not have even made comments about "not drinking". I did not ask your opinion on whether to drink or not. Ugh anyway i already wasted too much time responding. To those with the good advice THANKS! I like the crystal light idea. ;)

Omg lol that went to a crazy place. Thanks for the crystal light idea. I can also probably buy mio or bring gatorade and keep it under the table

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!

      Having gall bladder surgery in a few days and I so hope the recovery is easier than the one from the modified DS! I could use a bit of luck/pep talk for a change. I'm starting to be able to walk around without experiencing dizziness, but it would be great if the random pain in my chest and abdomen would go away!!
