My doctor warned about this before surgery but for my family it is really of no concern as we don't use alcohol except for cooking. Thanks for the warning though, there are many who may not know of the potential problem!

Scott,  Thanks for passing along the post.  Everytime I start to think I could probably handle a couple drinks again I think of things like that and decide it's just not worth it yet to even try.  I'm such an addict that it would be my luck that I would suddenly have an alcohol problem without every having even liked it that much.   I'm trying to stick to working out, gardening and other cheap things.  I've blown a few bucks shopping indiscriminately lately, so that's out for a while!  I really never knew I used food as such a crutch!  I can certainly see where it would be so easy to fall into patterns with alcohol.
