> Regarding alcohol, this doctor used as a rule of thumb to avoid any colored liquors. Similarly, he recommended that I stick to white wines. I don't recall him saying anything about beer, but he didn't go out of his way to say that it was safe to drink. I'm not sure that these proscriptions are warranted, but I have followed them in the past.
Scott --
I'm not into alcohol either, but for the record, red wines and other "colored liquors" have never been shown to be a problem (i.e., no well-documented cases of reactions, no accurately measured high levels of tyramine or other relevant biogenic amines). I think the only alcoholic drinks that are known to be unsafe are certain obscure European (Czech and Irish) bottled beers and tap beer.
> Anyway, given my mileage, I would strongly recommend that one not eat pepperoni, dry sausage, or any other meats that are left hanging to age.
BTW: The article on pizzas said that even the pepperoni pizzas were safe (this was from American and Canadian pizza chains), although given your experience one might want to exercise caution.
