Hello: You asked the magic question...........After 19 months after my surgery I tried a glass of wine........After drinking about a 1/4 of the glass I felt like I had drank the whole bottle! .........driving would not have been an option!!!...........Beer has the same effect on me, If I am going to have a bottle of beer I have to drink it over the course of the entire evening and definately would not even consider the idea of driving!!

I am almost 6 weeks out...do u think it would hurt me if i had a social drink? i know driving wont be good..ha ha but I also dont want to hurt myself. I have tried alot of things and as you all know right off I know exactly what I can tolerate and what I cant. It was just a thought, thanks for the feedback..lol laurie

I'm told that I can drink, but to watch out with the amounts. Some people tell me that they drink rum. Which I thought was full of sugar but people have drank it. Someone told me that they follow the Atkins book and only do low carb stuff. I've had a glass of wine and only drank about half of it. I'm willing to try vodka, whiskey, and tequlia, but will mix with sugar free stuff. Happy Holidays. Kim
