Alcohol is a natural diuretic and bladder irritant and yes many people are IC in there sleep after drinking , I a diabetic alcohol turns into sugar and empty calories plus I take opiates and Benzo's every day so i have a trifecta reason for avoiding it , but i enjoy beer so i drink an alcohol free beer made by Guiness , a case will last me about 2 years unless i have friends over ,it took them a long time to realize there was no alcohol ,because there nice bottles with a nice label and has a great taste ,it's not an obvious fake beer that tastes like crap , i cook with wine but obviously cook the alcohol off ,it's the flavor your after not the booze , I also have several bottles of hard liquor that i use to marinate meats or fish that my aide thinks are funny that he has to dust the bottles because they don't move that often ,but there are flavors that you can't get any other way , so for an IC guy that's dry ,my house doesn't look it , but if anybody can tell me how to make salmon marinated in bourbon without bourbon I am all ears .
I used to go to an ice cream place who was known for weird and innovative flavors one of them was Jack Da niels, i cant and dont eat ice cream much but that stuff was fantastic , i preorder some for when they make it again and make my own sugar free chocalate chip cookies ,makes an awesome cookie sandwich for desert and people assume its vanilla ice cream , surprise ! And it doesn't really have any alcohol but the flavor is there. So enjoying the flavors without the alcohol is pretty easy but certainly not cheap .
