Alcohol effects on type II diabetic
http://www.dimensionsmagazine.com/forums/showthread.php?t=38812
And wondered can one have an alcoholic drink that is good for you? I thought about posting this in the food board;but, since this is also a 'Health' question wanted to post it here.
Now I wanted to make clear that I was not advocating that it was ok to go on a wild alcoholic binge to consume any Beverage in sight. You have to consider ( current health - illness - medication) and what your physician recommends in your situation.
Now-if can you drink in moderation can you still have an alcoholic drink that is healthy?
I did not want to list any specific beer or wines - but feel free to...
What are your "Healthy/Alcoholic" concoctions? Here are some 'obvious' and not so obvious
1. OJ based. (Tequila Sunrise, Mimosa, Screwdriver)
2. Cranberry juice (Cranberry Juice and Vodka)
3. Tomato Juice (Bloody Mary)
Interesting 'Urban Legend' -
Chanting "Bloody Mary!" 13 times in front of a candlelit mirror will summon a vengeful spirit
