champagne at new years? just curious

how many of us december babies are going to indulge in a little (or a lot) of bubbly tonight? i know i will but my surgeon has very liberal rules as far as alcohol consumption post op (basically, moderation, watch out for the calories, carbonated drinks are not ideal, etc.) but a lot of people on the main board avoid alcohol altogether post WLS so i'm curious as to what the general attitude is for 1 year out folks

I'm working tonight, so no, but...I've been drinking in moderation all year--not often, but at occasions with friends and special parties. It's been a good year, I am not worried about the extra calories. My "pooh" is always really hard (in form) the next day after drinking anything alcoholic, though....just an FYI! I think it definitely affects our absorption... Take care! Megan

I actually drank Pineapple juice with Bananna rum and I have to say I enjoyed it A LOT This is the first time I have had more then a few sips or a little drink. ( I actually had 3) It was NY and I had 40 people at my house and have worked my butt off getting everything ready and food made and I NEEDED it! Will I do this all the time...NO but I did enjoy it last night
