Now I'm not a lush or anything :) heehee... but I do kick back a few every sunday during the race. What I've found is that if I drink beer (even my beloved budweiser) I hurt more the next day (could it be a starch thing?). However if I drink wine or a martini (my favorite) I'm ok, providing I don't drink a 5th or something! LOL.... but seriously, it did make a difference for me when I figured out that the beer was making things worse.
It is however ironic that before I started seeing a doc for this stuff that my cure all was 2 BC powders and a cold budweiser. It honestly made my pain go away for almost 2 years. I swore by it. The doc thinks I'm an idiot, but hey it worked for awhile. The only med I'm currently on is Vioxx and drops for my eyes so I don't know if that makes any difference either....
Just my 2ยข.... GOod luck
