help! wedding! alcohol!

I need to figure out what I should drink at my brothers wedding. Suffer from acid reflux and of course can't have carbonation. The wine kills me, tried that already. Also unsure about beer due to the hops. Please help

    This may seem like a dumb question but... Why do you have to drink alcohol at all?

  • I think she wants to drink alcohol hence her question about alcohol options not alternatives. I'm sure not everyone who drinks a cocktail turns into a drunken mess.

  • Geeze people, i asked about some options and others opinions. People take things to such a crazy level. You don't know me so you should not have even made comments about "not drinking". I did not a

I drank a frozen margarita no problem. Couldn't drink it all because I got full but it was fine.

Geeze people' date=' i asked about some options and others opinions. People take things to such a crazy level. You don't know me so you should not have even made comments about "not drinking". I did not ask your opinion on whether to drink or not. Ugh anyway i already wasted too much time responding. To those with the good advice THANKS! I like the crystal light idea. <img src='http://www.bariatricpal.com/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/wink.png' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=';)' />[/quote']

Defensive much?

When posting on a public forum you're going to get public opinion. That's kind of a given. If that bothers you, you may want to rethink posting the questions you're obviously sensitive about.

Ditto!!!

I have tolerated alcohol since 6wks out.

I know someone already said Water and vodka, but try that with flavored vodka instead! That's what I drink now (pre op) because it's lower calorie and the water keeps hangovers at bay.

And the flavored vodka tastes pretty good.

Shes right. You dont know her. She didnt say she drinks every day. Its a social event. She wants to have a couple of drinks. She has a right to. Some things should not be said.

White russian: milk, vodka chocolate sauce

Milk is basic

allons-y

Blah, blah, blah.

No one attacked anyone. No one attempted to interfere with anyone's rights. No one judged anyone. Suggestions were offered, at her request. If someone doesn't want suggestions, don't post it publicly.

If you're old enough to drink then you should be old enough to handle various feedback and make your own decision... Without whining about the opinions you don't like.

Sheesh.

I haven't had a drink post op, but when I asked my doctor he said to try it at home first. That way if you have a bad reaction it won't ruin your event. ie spending the evening throwing up or something else not fun

For those of you that expresses your opinions about whether or not she should drink alcohol please re read her question. She was asking for advice as to WHAT to drink, not IF she should drink. Ladies lets not be the catty girls in the middle school hallways, we're adults now

To the OP I would try Skinny Girl Vodka and Water or crystal light.

Thank you

I have not tried it because I am a wine drinker but someone told me once they were drinking vodka mixed with poweraid zero. Would help keep you hydrated? Just a thought.

She didn't ask for suggestions on whether or not to drink alcohol, is the thing. If you think you're adult enough to tell another adult she should abstain from alcohol, "you should be adult enough to handle various feedback." And mature enough to not mock people with your blah blah blahs.

I'm sorry you feel that way.
