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.

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

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.

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

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.
