I could always drink without being impared. But, when I went gluten free it was a whole new ball game. It caught me by surprise several times.

I drink rarely now. It's much more fun being the sober one at parties. Oh, the stories I could tell.

1-2 drinks usually gets me acting silly and goofy, so I cannot say I can drink more than anyone. I drink much less now.

This remind me of something I read years ago about alcoholism. It seems that there is a certain type of alcoholic who, like you, does not become ill after drinking a lot and they don't have hangovers. But alcohol, ethanol, is a poison so it catches up with them later when they develop chirrosis and fatty livers. I could drink quite a lot in my 20's and had somewhat a reputation for being able to drink others under the table but I did feel the effects of drinking too much and had hangovers. I always had anxiety problems so when I drank I felt better . Later on in my 30's , I couldn't drink as much and would feel sicker if I drank too much. A few years later I ran across a book on chemical sensitivies by a physician who had a clinic in San Diego. He would treat his chemical sensitive patients with a few drops of ethanol, under the tongue, when they had to do something in an polluted environment. One woman was extremely sensitive to exhaust fumes and had to ride a bus to work. If she used the ethanol she could make it to work. For years after reading that I limited my drinking to one beer or one glass of wine a day at most. Later on, still suffering from anxiety and the problems of undiagnosed celiac disease I began doing Dr. Hulda Clark's protocols and after doing her parasite cleanse found that I had absolutely desire to drink alcholic beverages. I could imagine that a beer on a hot day would be nice but had no desire to actually drink one. I was alcohol free for about 15 years and then I met an old friend for our mutual 70th birthday celebration. She had a bottle of red wine and I decided to have a glass, about 6 ounces. On the way home I broke out in hives. And I noticed that in the following weeks I had a slight craving for alcohol but it wasn't very strong, just annoying, and I resisted the impulse. I have read that other people have lost their desire to drink after the parasite cleanse. One woman, who's husband was an alcoholic, snuck the herbs into his meals and he stopped drinking.
