Alcoholic Drinks

[Googles]

I was wondering what types of alcohol I can drink. I don't really like very many types of alcohol I had tried before becoming diagnosed and I know nothing about what things are made of. I was wondering if people could let me know so when I go to parties or out to a bar with friends. The only thing I really liked that I found was an almoreto(sp) sour. Can I still drink that? If I can't what can I drink that doesn't taste like alcohol (the thing I like about that drink?) Thanks.

I drink vodka mixed with water- which is not a very common "favorite" but it's what I like. You can try it with a lime.

Also, (correct me if I'm wrong!) but wine is safe too!

The one time I tried wine (and yes it was obviously only one type) I almost spit it out. I was with some older friends (30-50) who had opened a bottle of wine at a retreat. They offered me some by saying that it was okay if I drank some (obviously they didn't think I was old enough to drink). Too bad I was already 22. Being that they were offering it around it took me a second to realize why they thought they had to give me permission. I haven't touched it since. I always have trouble buying new things that I don't know if I'm going to like because I don't want them to go to waste and I don't go out hardly at all.

Thanks. That really helps giving me a place to start.

Most hard liquor is OK even though alot have wheat in it because when it goes through distillation, the Gluten particles are too big to pass through based on what I've read and personally experienced also. I love Bourbon and never had a reaction from it. Some of the cream based liquors may or may not be OK. Beer is obviously the biggest no-no sans the ones specifically labeled or made gluten-free.

I believe amaretto is OK but I can't recall off top of head. I know the Sour is OK since whiskey sours are one of my favorites I can have on a whim if I'm out with friends.

Cider is what I drink the most . I recommend Magners or Kopparberg Pear Cider

Rum and coke is a good one. If it's mixed well, it doesn't taste alcoholic, and pretty much any bar has Bacardi. Vodka and orange or cranberry juice is another good one. Woodchuck Strongbow hard ciders are easy to find and are often popular even with people who can consume gluten.
