Yes of course you can. Recently my husband and I celebrated our anniversary. We had a bottle of champagne, and I indulged. I am not a drinker per say either, but did enjoy what I had. The alcohol may hit you faster than it used to but I just sipped it slowly and was fine.

Wine = sugar. Wine probably won't hurt you, though very little will make you goofy. But it IS sugar. Consider as helpful to your wt loss as a hot fudge sundae, with extra fudge and whipped cream.

I didn't have my first drink until I was about 8 months post-op, but I do have an occasional alcoholic beverage now with no problems whatsoever.
