Do Sleevers Absorb Alcohol Faster?

My hubby has a bypass. Half a glass of wine, and he is drunk. Is this true for sleeves as well?

    For me it does I drink one drink of alcohol not beer and I'm wasted I've found myself a few times with my head in the toilet from two drinks. A dame shame if you ask me because I like to party.

yes

Oh yes! I am a good time after a small little bottle of wine...if I can even manage to get that down. I actually like that I can't drink very much. It's empty calories that I don't need!

LOL :P !!!!!

This came up at our last meeting here in town. You will get buzzed faster but the effect will pass faster too.

They say it is a yoyo you don't want to make a habit of.

Yes, yes I do. LOL

That being said, I don't want to go down that road, but the few times I drank I had a really good time for very cheap. LOLOLOLOL

I have found that I can't drink because it burns too bad. And I loved beer, cocktails, not so much wine unless it was Lambrusco..so I have given up alcohol all together just because I can't tolerate the burn.

At times I can have three drinks without incident (vodka cran with a splash of club) other days it upsets my stomach and I get popped pretty fast.

I have always been a drinker - I will continue to drink - but just not as much as before. What ever I am doing works for me I am six months out and down 70lbs - again it is what you discover works for you may not work for anyone else.

Enjoy the ride

Yes!! Before I had my sleeve, I could drink a lot before u started feeling a buzz. Now, half a glass of wine and I am buzzing like a bee!!

Another yes. Quick to buzz, quick to sober up. I don't ever have more than two drinks while out these days. More often one is plenty sufficient and will hold me over all night if I sip.

I hate the taste of beer since surgery, though. I used to love it. Now I'm all for those fruity mixed drinks I used to mock.
