I have never noticed any change due to my alcohol consumption, what about you ?

[Kat]

I don't drink. At least I rarely do and it's less and less each year. Maybe I should start

I'm honored, not too many people can get you to zip it.

Well I have found out that there is no difference.
I am alcohol free now for a year, but there is no difference compared to when I drank wine.
I prevented red wine mostly anyway as this contains grape acid which may influence the PsA, as is said… but never had very bad experiences after an occasional red wine.

I very rarely drink alcohol but it's never had any effect on the P or PsA at all. I am determined to keep to my strict standards regarding alcohol consumption and I will not be drinking anymore than the odd bottle or two per week of gin, the odd bottle of wine and all other drinks , like port will be cut back considerably.

Interesting, I'm sure I read once that a little red win is good. Well anyway I got in hospital.

Is it true you soak your false teeth in a glass of Gin ?
