alcohol
I did. I was about 5.5 months the first time I drank. I was fine. It effects me a lot more than it did before. A little goes a LONG way, so be careful. I probably wouldn't have a whole glass the first time. First time I drank at home to make sure I would be okay. And don't drive. Happy Mother's Day!
This is a hot topic around here. you'll get a lot of different responses. My first drink was about 3 months post op and I only had a few sips and felt woozy. At 5 months out you're probably fine but at this point it's just empty calories so stick with one small glass and baby it.

I wouldn't let my first time trying alcohol be out in public. You can't predict how you're going to react.
I had half a glass of champagne at 7 months out (I had hit goal!). Whoa -- super dizzy, went right to my head. I haven't tried anything since.

I'm 5 months out and we're going to the winery sundy for mothers day. I'm not a drinker but I'm not quite 6 mos.post op and wanted to know can I have a glass of wine. Has anyone drank that early....
don't be suprised if it stops your weight loss. Wine is really liquid sugar.
I went to a wedding at 5 1/2 months post op where there was a different wine with every course. I decided to have one glass of wine with one of the last courses of the meal. I drank only a portion of the glass, and even so I felt it. But it was fine on my tummy. So I think you can do it. Just use moderation, and don't let it become a habit, as it is empty calories.
best wishes,

You tried beer at 2 months. You are 3 months out and are having mixed drinks with fruit juice? Just clarifying.
