[QUOTE="Shar67, post: 1243434"] The thing with alcohol in Britain, is it is a huge part of our socialisation, we meet in pubs and bars, we take a couple of cans to the picnic, bbq whatever. If you don't drink people want to know the why not, a simple I just don't doesn't seem to cut it. Having pancreatitis through alcohol must be horrendous as you are battling 2 things at once. To me people who have pancreatitis through alcohol are no different from me, no matter how we ended up on the pancreatitis road our journeys on it will follow a similar path, the harder road is the huge change to your lifestyle, some will play Russian roulette with alcohol as it may not affect you the day you drink but a year down the road. I think I was lucky, I knew I would become diabetic it just happened quicker than myself and the medics thought. It became one less thing to sorry about. The treatment and advise given to pancreatitis sufferers varies so much from region to region, and people seem to be left high and dry, not given advice on diet or alcohol consumption. I'm not an expert on the subject but getting to meet via forums and IRL, there is lots of personal experience out there that helps more than anything said by medics. [/QUOTE]
