Attention Beer Drinkers : How much beer do you consume and do you ......

ROYC75 · 04-01-2005, 09:20 PM

How much beer do you consume and do you or have you ever had kidney stones.I don't know, it has been said and rumored that a few beers now and then helps flush the kidneys out.

I ask this because I just had my 2nd bout with these basturds this week and currently feeling like a 3rd bout is nearing .

I use to drink for 15 years, a social drinker, but know to tie one on from time to time. Never had any problems with kidney stones. Keep in mind I was younger, age 17 - 32 during this time.

Now for the last 15 years, really the last 5 years, I have had 2 bouts with this.

Some of the members here know I gave up drinking from our annual get togethers with the foundation, but I telling ya, something has to give.

I sent my daughter after some beer....... Like I said.....Something has to give.

Been drinking pretty heavy for close to forty years no problem. Do you watch Deadwood? Al Sweringen there is having a heck of a time with them and drinks whisky.

It is a western on HBO, Sunday nights. Been a lot of threads on here about it. They went up his pee hole with hemostats to extract the stones. Listened for a rattle to find them! Greausome (sp) seen, if you have half the pain Al has I really feel sorry for you!

I drink 5 or 6 beers every day and have for 40+ years. I used to drink more than that. But I also drink large amounts of water all day. I'm almost 60 and still no stones.

Just be careful mixing the meds and beer......okay. I mean you said it's been awhile

NaptownChief · 04-01-2005, 09:58 PM

Three to Six per day and no stones....My guess if you drink a lot you either won't get them or relaxed and drunk enough that you won't notice.
