Question:
I am woundering what drinks anyone has tried and not dumped.

I have never once dumped on watered-down Gatorade (50%). This was very useful to me in getting in my 64 oz. of fluid early post-op.

I was a 7 7s drinker before surgery.. so I ordered a shot (one ounce)of Southern Comfort and mixed it with a full cup (10 ounces) of diet 7 up and had no problems with it.. but that was a moved of "not denying myself" and now I'm not craving the alcohol anymore.. </p> However!!! Everyone is different, I took my risk, and felt the side effects of the one ounce of the alcohol.. I didn't dump, but I did have "alcohol side effects"

My favorite is Chrystal lite lemonade with a shot of Vodka. Sometimes I have Diet Coke with Captain Morgan spiced Rum. It took me a while before I was brave enough to try White Zinfindel again, it was my favorite pre-op, thinking it would have too much sugar in it...I didn't dump, but was feeling very tipsy on just a half a glass!

I have tried several different drinks, cranberry juice and vodka, bloody mary's, gimlets, merlot, cranberry juice and coconut rum, various martini's. I haven't dumped on anything, but I drink slowly. Good Luck!

The key to enjoying an alcoholic beverage is to sip VERY slowly. I went out two weeks ago and had an amaretto and pineapple juice and a wine spritzer later. I was fine and really enjoyed myself. Three days ago, I oredered a strawberry daquiri at a mexican restaraunt and drank only 1/3 of it. I guess I drank it too fast because I got VERY tipsy off of a measley 1/3!!! I had to get my friend to drive me home so I could lay down because my head was spinning. What a difference! Enjoy whatever you want, just do it in moderation and TAKE YOUR TIME drinking it. Good luck!
