The last time i drank red wine, I had 3 glasses and the next morning i had a horrible migraine headache. I used to get them once every other month from the age of 10-17. In my 20's Ive only gotten one every couple of years. I don't know the cause, but i'm turned off to red wine for the time being. I drink on the occasion. a couple times a year. Less is best for me though...

Let me guess it was probably non organic wine?
The alcohol is bad enough in itself but the problem with wine is that if it is not organic it's absolutely loaded with all sorts of nasty chemicals....(do some research into it)
I don't touch that stuff anymore for that reason, it used to give me headaches too and make me feel REALLY toxic the next day.

I only do high quality organic if and it's a completely different experience

Red wine doesn't taste as good to me anymore, but I still love reisling and gewurztrminer. I rarely drink, though, and when I do, it's one glass. Otherwise, I get indigestion and achy legs the next day.

i had 2 margaritas last night, and wasn't drunk but my stomach was aching and i felt terrible. it was all in my gut. a glass or two of organic biodynamic wine is one thing. i love reisling also, but hard liquor and beer are disgusting. even if it's premium top-shelf tequila. i forced myself to upchuck it and i am def. not bulimic. there was nothing but yellow bile.

Haha, that's really funny! I would have loved to be at that party......:D
.......You know the occasional bit of senseless rock n roll behaviour really does ad some fun into it all, it's all about a good balance and knowing how to let go and behave like a big kid every now and again without loosing it all of course hey?

I might have some raw, organic red wine on my 21st birthday, I guess. But if someone told me I could never drink again in my entire life, I wouldn't really care either way.

I'm not against alcohol... it's whatever.

I used to drink a LOT in my twenties, then since I had my kids I kinda stopped because of them and the pregnancies and breastfeeding of course.
But my diet has changed so radically since then that actually the desire for it has almost vanished.
All my lil addictions actually. I used to smoke too and do the occasional other stuff when I was younger.
Somewhere I've read or heard, and I think it was David Wolfe who said it, that the more acid your body is the more prone to addictions for recreational drugs you are and the more neutral or alkaline your blood becomes the less desire for those things......Twice or three times a year (literally) I do have a glass of (strictly organic) wine or a good mojito (or two...) at a party.....mmmmhhhh
I don't get out much obviously....lol

I still drink. Mostly white wine, red wine makes me want to puke. I also do cocktails. I probably drink once or twice a week and I do get drunk.

In my younger days I'd drink vast, vast quantities and spend all day (sometimes 2 days) in bed with a hangover. Not so much these days. Like Chris said I've found my hangovers are much improved since eating more raw food. Strange. I do get drunk a bit quicker mind...

I have been raw for over a year and a half. I drink organic wines. I was able to give that up last fall for 4 months. I never felt better. I was also able to keep closer to 80/10/10rv since I wasn't tipsy and sneaking off to the kitchen to make cashew cheese and crackers. I hope to get to that perfection of 811rv and abstaining from alcohol again in the near future. For now I prefer Frey wine although I can get Our Daily Red for $6.45 a bottle!
