Thanks Wayne! Yes I do need to lighten up. My husband always tells me that.

I did have a glass of wine tonight and the world did not come to an end.

I live in Florida

Deborah you have PD not cancer. Yes you can have a beer or wine just apply common sense. I take Siminet every two hours and drink very little but you have to live and if you feel like a wine or beer have one. Lighten up PD must not rule your life you sound a lovely lady stop the research and reading all about side effects. Trust yourself and live life. The key to beating this disease is to accept it and be positive.

PS What part of the world do you live in?

I have half a glass of Merlot whenever eating Italian Food (LOL). Any more than that leads to sleep problems. I like wine, so if I really want more, I'll add a lot of ice and Seltzer to "stretch" a half glass to full (LOL)

I only have a drink if I'm eating a meal, some times just half so I can enjoy the taste again, it does affect my medication if I drink on empty stomachs or too much, not every day tho

If I really fell like a beer, I drink one. It's all I want.......makes me kind of sleepy
