Give it to me Raw

What is everyone's position on drinking booze? What kind? how often? I'm curious. I drink occasionally. I used to binge drink 2to3 times a week up until last month.

i like wine, but its reeeeally rare that i drink it, like once every other month maybe. its kind of a fun social thing, but generally i feel so good that really just dont feel any need for it.

I don't think I've drank anything since the Superbowl. And not because I'm trying to avoid it -- I just have no desire for it anymore. I'd rather pound shots of wheatgrass instead of shots of tequila.

I still drink the occasional glass of wine, but I have noticed that my desire for it has greatly decreased even when it's readily available.

I did have a martini while on vacation last week, and after being 80% raw for over a month let me tell you it went to my head FAST, but my head also cleared fast. I've always been kind of a light wieght, but that even surprised me.

I have the occasional blowout but( maybe 3 times a year). I find I do not get a hangover. An interesting point in The Sunfood Diet Success System " Choose wine over beer. Most wine is raw. Choose organic wine containg no added sulphites" but I also read in 80/10/10 that alcohol kills every cell it comes into contact with. So does anyone know if we replace these dead cells?

We're always making new cells, so I'd think they get replaced.

I think the main cells alcohol kills are the ones in the brain, which happen to be the only ones in our body that don't get replaced -once they're gone, they're gone.

There actually is a type of mushroom that has been shown to regenerate neurons, called Lion's Mane. Here's an article:

There's still hope, lol!
not that I agree with drinking alcohol.....(it's nothing less than poisen for the body in my opinion) ....but our body does actually generate new neurons (brain cells) throughout our lives - contrary to the popular and long held belief that they don't. Apparently the number of new neurons generated correlates with physical activity (exercise etc) and the rate at which they are integrated into existing neural networks within the brain depends on how much you use/challenge your mind. interesting eh??

I drink white wine. Red wine makes me fell ill the next day. I admit if I had a crappy day with lots of work and stress, wine makes the world look nicer in the evening!

if you're vegetarian be careful with the reds that you choose, otherwise you may find animal products in them

I don't touch it, but I didn't use to before the raw diet anyway, because I hate the idea of a hangover or losing control of my faculties. :-)

Besides that, I feel it is toxic, and so I just stay away from it.

I think the green is more "leafy" tasting (which I don't mind) but doesn't have the same long-lasting aftertase that the white does. I love the Wisdom of the Ancients green stevia liquid. I've finally made friends with stevia, LOL! I get it from V...
