help! wedding! alcohol!

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

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

  • 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.

  • 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 a

Oh to the op, it looks like you got some good suggestions.. The only thing I could add is when drinking the first time go slow.. It really made me flush and sweaty when I drank more than a few sips.. It's hard to explain but it made me feel like crap for a few minutes and scared me a bit.

Add PMSing too. Not my best moment, I will own that.

My apologies for the "blah blah blah" part of the comment. In the future I will leave such comments in my head.

Ok, all is said and done now. If you have a cocktail suggestion for me then please post it, thanks

I like to drink "Dirty Shirleys" It is Vodka, Sprite, Grenadine and Lime Juice,

If made correctly there is VERY little carbonation bc the soda is diliuted so much with the grenadine, lime juice and vodka... I use sprite zero in mine...

I am in my sister's wedding in May and I was wondering what to drink... By choice I drink Red Wine regularly but I hate to drink it when I go out and there could be pictures involved bc I HATE the purple tinge to my teeth... I was so happy when someone introduced me to the dirty shirley, the first time I had it was in NYC when we saw Chicago last month it was the Theater's featured drink for the show :)

I am so happy i read this!!! I am def going to have that

I'm almost 5 months postop and had my first drink last night (vodka and cranberry with lime). Like a poster above stated to drink it slow and see how you do. Definitely do that. I too got flushed very quickly and had body sweats. It was very strange and I did drink it slowly. Good luck and have fun at the wedding!

I would suggest you consider skipping alcohol all together or get something like a vodka and cran with lime.
