DRINKING ALCOHOL
Safer Intoxication
(vegetarian vegan OK alcohol listed further below)
-
FOR ALL PEOPLE: You don't have to give up drinking, all you have to learn is, you need to pH balance all that alcohol with lots of water. I am NOT going to diminish your Intoxication. You may want to sober up sometime, but that is not my point here. I am talking about pH and Acidity, and how you can still get really intoxicated and still maintain a better pH (pH is the key to good physical and mental health). (and by the way, people who drink tend to need more B Vitamins, so do elderly people, and so do some people who have stomach linings which don't abosorb B Vitamins as well as other people, and vegetarians too also need more B Vitamins, when it comes down to it, everyone could use a B Vitamin suplement, daily, but back to the Main point, pH is the key to health, and Alcohol can damage your pH, unless you balance it out with lots of water. Please read on. (and Vegan OK alcohol link below)

BACKGROUND: some people get intoxicated often, and have no apparent problem with it, while other people get a bit intoxicated, and have all sorts of Social ills, and or Health issues. People who are on a high pH diet (mainly they drink lots of WATER in general) tend to have less drinking problems and less health problems, while people who drink other liquids instead, such as low pH Sodas, or Coffee, or Orange Juice or Grapefruit Juice, have a lower, unhealthy level of pH.. I once gave a ride to this guy going to an AA Meeting. He had a six pack of Soda with him. I tried to explain to him "there's your trouble", but he wouldn't listen to me, oh well.
-
The SAFE level of pH is 5.0 to 9.0, with the body trying to maintain a 7.4 pH, and water being typically a 7.0 pH (most foods you consume are from pH 4.5 to pH 6.5. You can mix substances, and blend the pH. Most alcohols are pH 3, and water is pH 7 (but it takes a whole lot of pH 7 to raise the pH 3, a lot more than just 50/50). If you mix a bit of pH 3 with a lot of pH 7, you can raise it to pH 5 or even pH 5.5, within the Safe Level.


If you have a.....
-
Glass of Wine, you are getting a whole glass of pH 3, and a small amount of alcohol (dangerous to your pH).
-
Shot of Bourbon, small shot of pH 3, and a small amount of alcohol (less dangerous). 
-
Beer, a large can of pH 4, and a small amount of alcohol
Beer is the only alcohol which is pH 4, everything else is pH 3, but beer harbors Yeast which lives in your intestine, and causes a beer belly. (Nearly as dangerous, not much intoxication, and potential yeast problems.  Don't get me wrong, I have a beer in the frig, I am just trying to help, read on).
-
SOULUTION & ANSWER:
IF, you take that Bourbon (or Scotch, Rum, Tequila, Vodka, Gin, or any 80 Proof or higher), and measure out a shot or even 2 shots, into a 16 oz drinking glass (or larger), then fill it with Water pH 7, then you have a reasonable amount of Alcohol, at a safe level of pH (well above pH 5).


The Water will not diminish your intoxication, it will not diminish the alcohol, it is still the same amount of one or two shots, which ever you poured, it is still the same. They teach bartenders and servers, that if you give water to a very intoxicated person, it will NOT sober them up, nor even speed up the process of sobering up. But it Will raise their pH, and will make them feel better, and will affect their health and their body in a positive way, and you will be less likely to get trouble from them, and they are less likely to get trouble from other people. Sometimes they suggest Coffee, but Coffee is a lower pH than water, it does have some caffeine, which will help keep a person awake, but water will raise their pH.
-
WARNING: Soda (any type of soda, root beer, Pepsi, Coca Cola, tonic water, Dr Pepper, Mountain Dew), it is all pH 3, deadly stuff, don't mix it with your booze, because it won't raise the pH
-
"When you incline to drink Rum, fill the Glass half with Water." -Ben Franklin "Writings" by Ben Franklin pg 1286 Vintage Press
(quite frankly, I would advise to add more than a half glass of water, you can still have the half glass of Rum, just add it to a couple of glasses of water).
-
EVEN BETTER
Take an 8 oz glass of water, and measure in a half teaspoon of Baking Soda, and stir it for one minute (not to just mix it, but the 1 minute will allow time for it to Chemically React, then the product will be a pH 8.4, which is within the safe zone of pH 5 to pH 9, and well above water and the foods you consume, and will help balance out your pH. Drinking or not, I would suggest a "Sodium Bicarbonate" (Baking Soda in Water) around once or twice a week.

Your pH is ESSENTIAL to OPTIMUM Health.
-
Low pH (which is typical) causes, weight gain, more likelihood of disease (colds, flues, cancer, etc, etc on down the line). A Hospital is a pH Machine, they drag people in there and up their pH. How do the doctors avoid getting sick themselves? pH.   And socially, "Acid Diet denotes Acid Personality", that's why so many drinkers are difficult to deal with.  But show me a drinker who limits their low pH substances, and drinks lots of extra water, and I will show you a pleasant drinker, who gets along with people.   

CONCLUSIONS:  

Dont get me wrong, I love good wine, and wine is the key to romance, but do drink lots of extra water, should you be drinking wine (Gallo is a much better brand, they got their act together, while Livingstone is not very good.  For good Wine suggestings, check out Consumer Reports online ($24/yr) www.consumerreports.org/   They have a great article on suggested brands, but in general, your better off drinking moderate and measured amounts of High Proof (1 or 2 oz in a tall glass) and fill it up with water, AND follow that with more water (it will no diminish your intoxication, it will only make you feel better).

Vegan OK Products www.VEGAN STANDARDS.org has changed their name to http://www.veganproducts.org/drinks.html(and Archure has backed up their original info at http://archure.net/salus/alcohol_veganstandardsorg.html
VeganStandards.org listed as Vegan OK: Becks Beer, Miller, Budweiser Lager. Jack Danials, J&B Scotch, Smirnoff's, Malibu (flavored rum), Metaxa (a favorite & Greek), Popov Vodka, Sapphire Gin, Singleton Whisky, Southern Comfort, and Sutter Home White Zinfandel Wine, all as Vegan OK (no harm done to your fellow animals, no animal products or byproducts involved), and obviously, these are the best products (Becks surpases Heinekin, J&B was always a favorite even before I acqired this vegan info).

One of these had a list just like VeganStandards, but I did not see Sutter Home White Zin on the list, nor Budwiswer nor Mataxa, but the list did confirm Jack Danials, Malibu, Southern Comfort, Smirnoffs (more later, this page being updated currently April 30, 2009, more later),and lists some new additions such as Jose Cuervo (sp?) and I just love Tequila, have to get some of that.

I also read along the way that Whole Foods Markets stock Organic Vegan Wines (one brand says Vegan on the lable, but they were out of stock, Salesman Kenny (Las Vegas Blvd in Las Vegas) looked it up for me and found FREY Naturual White Wine (organic) and Frey Syrah orgainic wine (red)
