Antibiotics (“full-spectrum” antibiotics anyway) are completely different, likewise with certain benzos. I made a separate example of them closer to my OP and I’m not talking about them. I’m not talking about a short course of antibiotics or diazepam. I mean meds that you take long-term and if some of the pearl-clutching warnings because of worst-case scenarios concerned wouldn’t be mixed with alcohol at all.

Your claim is incorrect, and not factual. It’s your opinion. Unless you can pull some data which proves your claim.

I’m taking long-term, Ben. Not just for a week or two. Would you give up your beloved flavoured gins forever in the name of tramadol?

Naturally I’m not talking empirical back-up and stats. Unless I say otherwise, I’m giving an opinion, and I’m also asking, similarly, for personal experiences. And you’re doubtlessly intelligent and able to deduce sub-text. Don’t make it awkward. You should know what I mean.

Again I know plenty on long term who have for medication. And I probably would too. There’s many non alcoholic drinks around now to suffice, and I often find myself drinking them more than alcohol now.


The way you put things across are as though you are stating facts not your opinion.

Everything is relative. If you need the medication to live, the need for alcohol just isn't significant and drops to the bottom of the priority list.

Also, the older you get, generally speaking, the less important alcohol becomes. The responsibility of children, the fact that you may have medical needs, alcohol just doesn't rate as an issue to most people

Totally agree

Are you proscribed all your meds Redway? You seem to take quite a cocktail even though I think you're relatively young and healthy?

Actually, I take more supplements than anything-else. I have one or two prescriptions but nothing in the way of the number you seem to be thinking.

Don't take anything that should be a problem but I don't drink that much anyway.

Either way, you say that like its a bad things that anything feminine is bad. Coming from the guy who admits that there are times when even the blokiest of blokes must drink wine to not be seen as uncivilised (aka at restaurants), probably aware of the fact that there was a time when women weren’t seen as good connoisseurs of wine, I wouldn’t expect you to hang onto stereotypes. So what if more women than men opt for Lambrini? What’s your point?
