Alcohol - kinda piggy back from the other alcohol topic

I think if she wanted to be told whether or not to drink she woulda asked so in her question. She looking for experiences and what has worked best for other. Im not a DSer yet but i would def experiment before and find something that sits well. Then obviously make sure you eat and drink plenty of water BEFORE you imbibe. (YES ive seen w some that sometimes even eating and hydrating doesnt help) If you try some now and find you have trouble then you have your answer:)

Congrats and I hope you have a wonderful day!

Whether she "asked so in her question" or not, it's the best advice some people have to offer, and they are entitled to do so here on a public forum. If she doesn't like the advice offered, it's easy to ignore.

My wedding was this past October. I didn't have any alcohol. Honestly, I was so busy with the photographer and talking to everyone and enjoying the amazing food and cake and so on that I didn't even have time to drink, and when I did, I was pleading for someone to get me WATER because I was on my feet all day and had been super busy!

 I have had alcohol since my surgery. I don't get bowel trouble with anything so that wasn't an issue. However, beer got me tipsy after less than half a bottle. Margarita? No problems. I think since this is May, you're safe experimenting over the next couple of weeks and then just don't overdo it. 

I wouldn't risk having it on my wedding day unless I'd tried it out ahead of time, but that's just me. I have control issues. 

Congratulations on your big day!!

 Wine gave me TERRIBLE diarrhea.    Even at two years out.    When my husband and I first started getting serious about dating, I spent an evening drinking wine, and spent the entire night in the bathroom.    It was rather embarrassing.

I haven't had much wine since then, because of my strange blood sugar issues.    Belief it or not, the safest thing for me to drink now is high qualitly tequila.    I will have a shot, then follow it up with a glass of club soda and lime.     It seems to be the "cleanest" form of alcohol for me, and usually does not cause the strange symptoms.      I would make sure though, Nicole that you have PLENTY of food in your stomach if you plan to drink.     I'd hate to see you passing out on your wedding night!

I thought wine had a decent amount of sugar in it... so that might give me the same effect.  I am going to try maybe sugar free fuze and vodka this weekend and see how that goes.

Its not that I want to get trashed at my own wedding, but I do want to be able to kick back and just relax, dance and have a few drinks with my family and friends.  Just seems kind of a natural thing to do after dinner and all the hosting type activities are done.

I definetly will have a full belly that night! I am paying $60 a plate for that prime rib and it will get devoured!!!! LOL!

Sooo excited for the day to finally get here. I hope that your daughters big day is so enjoyable for you:)

 I have found that alcohol mixed even with sugar free drinks gives me the same problem from a blood sugar standpoint.   I was drinking Vodka and diet squirt, and that caused problems too.   Test drive that drink, and let me know how it makes you feel!     

You know what I did have good luck with?   Kahlua and coffee with real whipped cream on top!  Perhaps the high fat content prevented me from having issues.   You might want to also test drive something like a kahlua and cream.

Sometimes one drink can last me for a couple of hours.  Some hit faster than others.  I had a bloody mary  the other night and it seemed to be ok.  Most all alcohol give me a red face... bright lights, I drink water, bar lighting, maybe I'll have a drink.  Be nice to your liver.  Also, very runny stools the morning after.

Just so you know I did not drink at my wedding. I'm just not a big drinker.

Off the topic but, is that your dress in the picture? It is BEAUTIFUL!
