But if you moderate moderation, surely that would not be moderate.

So not an absolute obsession with moderation and therefore moderation is moderated nāest pas?

Guy in the farmers market this morning was selling his own distilled cider - 44% proof and when the cask aged is ready it will be 67!
Think weāve tried AF cider and it was ok

Had kambucha (ĀæSpellāg?) last night - - made from tea apparently - tasted like it too with a bit of fizz and a mango flavour
Not one to put on my short list but might suit other people
Hi everyone, hope you are all getting ready for Autumn. Wanted to add my two cents about drinking post stroke.
I started drinking when I was 15 years old in my country and noticed the drinking culture here in the UK when I arrived as a student at 13 years old back in 1989.
Iām been drinking for a long time but started reducing my alcohol consumption gradually over the years where I started exercising at the age of 25 years old and more so when I turned 40. After my stroke at the age of 42 I stopped drinking completely as I didnāt want the alcohol messing with my head.
Iām in Clopidegral and Escitopram for depression so drinking itās really an option for me. I discovered non alcoholic wine last year and since Iād trained myself not to crave alcohol, Iāll have a glass of wine and 5 days later the wine ends up spoiling as I donāt finish the bottle.
Please excuse typos - operating on 6 hours of sleep and itās affecting my grammar and spelling.

Alcohol free wine, isnāt wine and doesnāt even taste like grape juice boak
Hi Simon. Done my test days. After a ābusy dayā I donāt really feel any different the day after,
however after alcohol I feel extra light headedness the next day with increased problems with balance and ringing in my ears. (just 2 or 3 glasses of wine)
Iāve just read up again on alcohol and medication namely Ramipril and it clearly states that alcohol and Ramipril do not mix. It can lower blood pressure too much resulting in the light headiness I mentioned. Might not be applicable to all but Iām sure Iāve narrowed it down for me.
Take care.

@Seeney good that youāve managed to pinpoint the issue for you. At least now you can decide if having the drink is worth the consequences the following day.
No its not. Lol.
Take care.

Hi @Seeney
Iām glad that you have been able to apply a little investigation and have some suspicions / hypotheses that help you now to know the ācostsā of choices and thereby have a better post stroke life 
Ciao
