My dr allows you to have small amounts of alcohol 12-18 months out I was just wondering if after the surgery does a little go a long way does it in fact make you a "cheap date"?

Drinks go to your head a lot faster. When you first have a drink make sure you are at home with someone you trust.

Uh oh !! I am in trouble or maybe my husband is a lucky man .... I'VE ALWAYS BEEN A CHEAP DATE!!!

So nothing will change for me. I was always a cheap date being on 11 different Med's befor surgery alcohol was almost nonexistent 1 beer was like a six pack (great way to save money on booze) no fun at a bar

Have at it just please don't drink and drive.

My right leg still hurts from time to time thinking about the drunk driver that ran me down and drove off. Took almost a year & (6 surgerys) for me to heal and learn how to walk again with my right leg

DRINK but DONT DRIVE

I like to have a glass of mascoto every once and awhile but I m most likely the MOST boring 21 year old in the world..well in less i'm with you at a buffet lol!

Moscato doesn't make you dump? It's so sweet.

I had a glass with no issues

It's strange how sensitive I am to the tinyest bit of sugar. But my favorite thing to drink is hard cidar. I prefer the sweeter kinds. It had 19g of sugar per bottle. Not a single problem. I'm thinking it just hits differently. But I thought I was going to be billy badass and drink three in a row. I was smashed!!! Stayed so for about an hour, then I had a hangover from hell. It hits fast and wears off just as fast.

Doctors often quote a ratio of 3 to 1. One drink post-op is like three pre-op. Be careful. There are some horror stories out there about bypass patients getting a DUI after one drink. If you're going to have even one drink, definitely best to give your keys to someone else.

I was watching Sharon Osborn on a talk show and she has a glass of wine every time before she eat she has a band and she says it loosens it so she can eat more I was like what's the point then!!

Nah I'm a way more boring 21 year old. I'm so lame that on my 21st (8/6) I went bowling and had a glass of wine and didn't even get drunk.
