I stopped drinking after my diagnosis as well - two months ago exactly. I'm due on holidays at end of September when I plan to have my first beer. Was also wondering what might happen. Might well follow your advice now.

I don't drink beer but have couple of whiskeys now and again think as long as you have food first you will be fine

If I was to give advice on anything to anyone ..It would be not to take any advice from me...I always get things wrong.

Hope you have a nice holiday.

[mmzetor]

did you drink it on an empty stomach or could it have been because of heat why it went to your head

[Hidden in reply to mmzetor]

I was eating at the same time..

I don't enjoy food like before everything tastes different.

I have to force myself to eat.

It's going to take a bit learning to living with copd.

[mmzetor in reply to Hidden]

you may find the food taste different because of not smoking lot of people say you taste things differently when you don't smoke any more

[Hidden in reply to mmzetor]

Yes your right..It should taste of what it is. ...

No this is something to do with the inhaler seretide am using. ..The other doctor gave me symbicort.

I know I have to rinse or wash my mouth after use...tomorrow am going to scrub my mouth.

[mmzetor in reply to Hidden]

do you use the seretide evo inhaler its the thin long inhaler or the seretide accuhaler its sort of a round inhaler if you use the evo do you use a spacer with it .

[Hidden in reply to mmzetor]

It's the purple round one. Have to use it twice a day.

2 am now... I should have taken that last sleeping 4 hours ago. It be time for the children to wakeup soon. Our day starts at 6am here.

[Hidden in reply to FarmerD]

I have been giving it a bit more thinking. ..and am pretty sure that my drinking days are over to. I could never handle alcohol that good anyway. .
