Janet G.
You may recall that I gave up drinking wine well over a year ago, finally admitting to myself that it was an undeniable and evil Migraine trigger for me. Shortly thereafter, beer was added to the list and, after much whining and denial, I finally stopped drinking it. I'll have a bottle now and then if I'm really craving it, but never enough to br ...

All kids drink.” And, often, researchers (myself included) focus on how many young people are drinking. The 2002 to 2006 National Surveys on Drug Use and Health, for example, found that in 2006 almost one in five people aged 12 - 20 e ...

Sports drinks or not...

Weight Master E.
Do you drink sports drinks while you workout? I do. Some people say that it hurts a workout because of the calories; however, if you're not working out to lose weight, it helps.

Dr. Richard Keller
There was a letter to the editor in the Chicago Tribune recently in which a 17 y/o voiced his opinion that the “legal drinking age” should be lowered from 21 to18.

We have a good relationship, and I have told him my concerns, but he dismisses me, saying, "Everyone gets drunk, Mom. Back off." What can I do?
Sounds like you've been ve ...

Heavy Drinking.

Melting Mama
Right after my RNY surgery, I thought I would drop dead from a lack of food. Honestly, the lack of food didn't get to me, it was the fact that I didn't drink enough liquids and landed my ass back in the ER with dehydration. My advice is now, looking back, DRINK UNTIL YOU FLOAT. Even if it takes you all day to get in your ounces - do it. Sip all ...
