Alcohol - kinda piggy back from the other alcohol topic

What is the "best" drink you have had with your DS?

I am getting married on June 3rd, I will be almost 9 months out.

I have not had any alcohol yet, kind of wondering if I shoudl experiment a little before the big day.

Is there one type of drink that you tolerate better than others, beer, wine, mixed drinks, etc?

I am not going to be "carb counting" that day, but I also want to make sure I am not crapping my brains out for 2 days afterwards  

Thanks for the suggestions and advice 

My advice is toast with something other than booze. You still arent a good year out.

Also there is a good chance that you may react differently every time you have a drink and different alcohols will affect you differently as well.

 My "safe bet" is vodka, diet tonic and extra lime.  Not a whole lot of carbs so it doesn't cause me any gastric issues.  I've tried sweet drinks a few times (margaritas, amaretto sour, and a mojito) and those did NOT work well for me.  I ended up having a strange issue with fainting both times I had sweet drinks, but they didn't cause gas or bloating either.  I can drink beer, champagne, white, red or blush wines without issue as well, but those all tend to have more carbs than I care to drink.  I only make exception for red wine because of the heart benefits of it, but I still limit it to a glass or two a week.  Oh, I will say, any night I've had a few drinks, the next morning is like a total bowel cleanse (sorry TMI!) so be prepared for that, LOL!

LOL thanks Bean!  I have some wine in the fridge at home that I keep for guests. I think I will start with a glass of that and see what happens!

I thought maybe a no or low sugar juice with vodka might be a good option at the wedding.  That will be my next experiment..

Its hard because I have ALWAYS been a beer drinker and I have a feeling it would make me feel really bloated now... but then again I haven't tried it either!

I am just being a chicken ****!

Gingerale?  Alcohol-free bubbly?  I say you don't have to toast with alcohol.  I think my only concern would be the stress of the day I see brides go through where they have not eaten- let alone hydrated- and how that in itself would relate to your tolerance.  I don't think the wedding-gods will forsake your marriage if there is no alcoholic toast heheh

Oh man.  I really would not drink on such a big day.  No way.

My first drink was a few sips of a margarita and I had HORRIBLE gas and bloating.  The worst I have EVER had.  I was in the bed in pain for hours.  The I farted for a decade.

I would wait until you are home and settled and try a little alcohol in your own home where you can deal with any consequences safely.

As an old bartender - a little bit of wine with a whole bunch of soda water (lots of ice to tone down the bubbles) might work well for you.  I used to make a "mixer" like that for myself while I was working. ( I owned the place - it has benefits) 

Ditto what Stormy said. Everyone is different, and you don't always respond the same every time. Just play it safe and use sparkling juice or something.

Also there is an alcohol FREE wine...called FRE and its good.

Your wedding day is a big day.  It's not a day to experiment.  Experiment AFTER the big day.
