Good Day Bmarie, I had previously commented about this on a similar query. Unfortunately, I'm new on this platform and still learning the ropes... cannot locate my response. Briefly, I faced a similar 'dilemma' ... an upcoming festivity. Passed on the hard stuff, but finally convinced myself that just 1 Beer ... well it might be ok. After I enjoyed and finished it ... well Beer 2 was that much easier to convince myself. Resisted the urge for #3. Thought that essentially all was well. But not so fast! Much later that evening, severe abdominal pain hit. Lasted thru the entire next day. My recommendation: Be Extremely Careful with your decision! If possible, be honest w/ your Doc & explain your situation. Together formulate a plan. I have found that PBC is highly unpredictable in it's symptoms. Please proceed with a rational approach ... and Use Extreme Caution! Enjoy your Party, but give serious thought to consuming any alcohol! Be well! Jim
When managing PBC, it's generally recommended to avoid alcohol completely as it can make life harder for your liver and contribute to dehydration. Instead, consider these alcohol-free alternatives:
• Sparkling water with a splash of juice
• Flavored seltzers
• Mocktails
• Non-alcoholic beverages that are low in sugar and Show Full Answer
Maybe a “virgin” drink like strawberry daiquiri.
