I started back in 2010 and am so happy I did at the recommendation of my Doctor. My Sister use to tell me to try a Gluten Free Diet because I was diagnosed with Fibromyalgia 15 years prior. I wish I would have listened sooner. Within just a few days, I had less pain and stiffness, I had strength in my legs that I hadn't known, I had more energy, and in turn, I felt happier because I actually didn't HURT ALL THE time. If you need help with anything Gluten Free, feel free to ask. I

Party like a Gluten Free Rock Star
BEER is a big no no!
what do you drink then when you want to have some alcohol?
My go to drink is Captain Morgan with Diet Coke.
I can also have lots of different Martini's, as long as they don't have wheat, Rye, or barley...thus NO BEER:(
Wine is good, it's grapes and the process in which it is made is safe.
Hard Liquors are safe, like Rum, Whiskey, Tequila, Vodka. Basically if it's clear alcohol, it should be safe.
However, stay away from Malt. I spent some summer nights thinking these "wine cooler" type drinks were so flavorful and safe, like Pina Colada, Margarita, but read the ingredients after feeling arthritic every time I drank them.
Come to find out, it was loaded with Malt. What is Malt?
Malt is barley, and I found out real quick that it was not Gluten Free Diet friendly!
Some would argue that some Whiskey's come from Barley and Malt as well, so try it out and comment if you have discovered an answer. I don't drink Whiskey for other reasons. I do not react well to it, maybe it is NOT Gluten free and that is why my body makes me stay away from it.
So you can have a wide range of alcohol. The world is your oyster with your own recipes of drinks since usually alcohol is distilled and no additives are shared with it's ingredients like flour.
