Hi
I have been on and off Met for several years now - and my advise would be to have the occasional drink if you want it, but do make sure you've eaten something substantial before you drink or better just have wine with meals. And, if possible, skip your Met that day - if you know you'll be drinking in advance.
I don't think the odd few drinks hurt, but I would fall into the 'binge' drinking catagory as the breakdown of a relationship and stressful job made me ignore the warnings - especially as I'd always been ok before, sticking to the rules above. BUT this year I started to get very drunk, very easily - to the point where I would black out and not remember a thing the next day. I have always been able to handle my alcohol before, even in quite high quantities, but this was something else! I don't know if it was the medication or my bodies way of telling me to slow down - either way, I guess my point is enjoy yourself but listen to what you're body is telling you and see how you go.

But I wondered about drinking alcohol - I know it says on the instructions to 'avoid alcohol' - but i wondered what your experiences were? I mean can I never drink alcohol again? Or am I still able to have a glass of wine or two with dinner?
