How long until you had your first drink?

I have no desire for alcohol right now (i'm having a hard enough time eating, lol) but how long did you wait before your first alcoholic drink? Did it really affect you much differently than before surgery? Wondering if I will be able to have a drink at my 20th HS reunion in August...

    I got married last weekend and one of the things I was worried about what not being able to have a drink. My surgery was 4/23.

    I sipped several glasses of wine throughout the weekend and never even copped a buzz. I was so shocked since the general consensus seems to be that your tolerance will be very low.

    I drink very rarely, but it's nice to know that when I do, I won't be falling down drunk from a glass of wine :-)
