silly question

[mykids247]

has anyone during treatment had a NON alchohol beer or glass of NON alcohol wine. Having a couple over for dinner and would like to have a glass of "pretend" wine or a beer. Minimal amount of alcohol but still.................wanted to participate BUT  not  mess up treatment or contribute to any damage to my precious liver. Just a silly question

I guess I should not have posted that last post now that I see the 3 posts before it (slow typist).

Your question was a perfectly legitimate question and one which many wonder about. I am glad you posted it.

I hope you find a great beverage for tonight and I hope you have a wonderful evening.

Sorry, didn't mean to upset you. I though the post above the question i asked answered your question..... Its not believed even a few drinks will effect ones treatment, if i were you i would enjoy that non alcohol beer.

And yes i agree mouthwash is really streching it. My point his that so many who will warn you about even drinking a non alcohol beer will have no worries about reducing or stopping meds.

Then what go to the well!!!!  Just kidding!!!! I'm gonna get reported to the hep police...........trust me there is not a more compliant person on here. If my Dr. told me to drink my gallon of water on my head while singing the star bangled banner I would do it.......was NEVER a big drinker just trying to be part of the party. if you would. I dont think I know who Ginger is but will remember not to name drop. LOL!!!  Maybe I could stop by and borrow a brownie????  LOL!!!!! I'll bring the ice cream!!!  Who needs the other stuff when you have home made brownies.  :)

"Even in trials moderate alcohol seems to have no effect on treatment, the problem comes from adherence to treatment."

"What has the most chance of jeopardizing treatment, a drink or reducing and or stopping treatment early? "
------------------------------------

can-do's statements:
Moderate alcohol seems to have no effect on treatment.
Adherence to the treatment is the problem.
What has the most chance of jeopardizing treatment, a drink or reducing and or stopping treatment early?

(My take) In other words, someone who is drinking regularly, especially if it is more than moderately, may miss doses, may not adhere to the strict every 8 hour time schedule, and/or may stop treatment early for whatever reason. And those three things may jeapardize successful treatment more than a dink here or there.
