Blame it on the Alcohol

Hey Family,

When I was in Niagara Falls, I did some wine tasting. Huuummmm let's just say, sista got toe up from the flo up!   Yes, all on two and a half glasses of wine.  Now...until this time...I have
have drank wine (White Zinfandel)..usually a glass in the evening ever now and then...or a fuzzy naval but usually I have kept it at one glass or drink. There have been times when I have gone overboard but only occasionally. I never really quantified my alcohol tolerance though before now.

I am just curious and wanted to get a feel from you all as to what your alcohol tolerance is like now vs pre-wls. I know for me pre-wls...I could drink several (4-5) glasses or drinks in an evening before getting completely hammered.

On another tip, I am about to do a little more socializing by having dinner parties. I do not have a stock of wine or alcohol. I really don't like to keep too much around the house...with the girls and all...I remember being curious as a child...however I know that I was raised in a totally different environment. My question is...what are you stocking? Do you have any good table wines, house wines etc...to recommend. When I was in Niagara Falls, I bought three bottles of the Ice Wine...talk about some good tasting wine. Yum!

So tell me. ..what alcohol are you blaming these days.    

I used to be able to drink dudes UNDER the table pre WLS - now - two long islands will have me callin you papi and walking into a room at a 'short stay' - so I don't socialize without a 'wing man' to keep me in CHECK!!!!

I still get my drank on - but have noticed that I've worked up my tolerance since I started back drinking but the first round is ALWAYS hard hitting......

 @ long islands will have me callin you papi and walking into a room at a 'short stay'

PreWLS I could and would drink a lot of anything and everything . Now I can't tolerate hard liquor it give me a bad headache as soon as I drink it I'm looking for Tylenol or sumthing for a headache and the next day I t's he!L. So I stick to a glass of wine or corona light that's it. That's what is in my house.

Wow! You just brought back memories...I used to love Corona Lights back in the day...with that little lemon. Might have to add a six pack here and there to the mix. Thanks BB!

Hi Lisa!

My alcohol tolerance is lower since WL surgery, but I have found that the further out I get, the higher my tolerance is getting. I can certainly see how WL folks can easily transfer addiction to drinking because the 'high' comes and goes so dayum fast.

As for stocking your house, I entertain a lot and try to keep what most of my friends and I drink...vodka, tequilla, and cognac.  Wines... reisling and moscado (sp)

Hey Kim,

I think my tolerance has not peaked because I only drink ever so often....but when I do...I realize now that I need to be careful...or I will be hugging the porcelain god.  Thanks for the wine suggestions...I will check them out.   

Gurllll - i ain't moscato in a while.... Imma hafta see my friend tomorrow when I get paid...... LOL!!! 

Morning MD,
WLS has had a weird affect on my alcohol tolerance.  Before wls Long Islands were my drink of choice when I went to a bar or club because I sure to get a nice buzz with all of the "ingredients".  Now,it does nothing; I could have 2 and won't feel a thing.
Post wls when I do sneak a drink it's rum or tequila.  My poison of choice is Bacardi apple and cranberry juice or any frozen Margarita. .

Huuummmm....Now Barcardi Apple sounds like that might be worth a shot...never tried it...thanks Hugga! BTW...I love seeing your face in the avie...while I like the avatar from before...I like seeing the actual person.
