    I discovered a while back that a treat I can take is goat cheese (chevre) + crackers + sauvignon blanc.
    I guess a classic French style evening treat/snack.
    In June/July I stay away from wine as I am on anti-histamines for hay fever.

    Any other beverages which are nice with the farm goat cheese/crackers ?

    Sparkling water or a light herbal tea?

    OT, but I don't desist from alcohol when I'm on antihistamines and I don't recall seeing anything in the patient information leaflet about avoiding it, nor do I experience any adverse effects from doing so.

    Something like elderflower (sparkling h20 + cordial?) or one of the many healthier drinks available near soft drinks in supermarkets.

    Many thanks for the suggestions so far.
    Nice !

    Alun - I take Zirtec or that other generic ceterezine substitute.
    I'm in my mid 40s and I used to take Piriton in my teens, etc before zirtec, etc came on the scene.
    Piriton could make you drowsy.
    I find the Ceterezine based tablets will make me drowsy if I drink with them.
    I tend to ease off booze (and I'm a light drinker anyway) once the hayfever season kicks in.
    I end up dosing off on the couch, and waking up with creak in my neck.
    So, I've learned the hard way.
    I guess side effects vary depending on your metabolism and other factors.
