Does Alcohol Help or Hurt?

A few beers make me feel better but the pain remains, for the most part. Hips ache, even sitting on a bar stool is not easy and I am not out long. Fridays used to be our night out; not fun anymore.
I am not actually afraid of drug reactions because I have tested them all. I was actually hoping the beer might ease the pain, if for only a while.:x

I would avoid it. Alcohol dehydrates the body. That will cause a lot of other problem. All those studies that championed a glass of wine per day have been shot down in the last couple years. There are actually recent studies that link alcohol to breast cancer.

The family i married into are all drinkers. To be sociable I tried to have the odd glass of wine but I really do not like that drunk feeling. I also found even though I only had half a glass or so I would feel worse the next day. Yet some swear it really helps them
