    Just be aware that you will get DRUNK off of much less. Your stomach size apparently helps with the processing/absorption of alcohol, so one drink might mean you'll be done.

    This was a big concern for me for social reasons.

    I stuck my toe in the alcohol waters at around 6 weeks at a party with a very weak (1/2 shot) and diet cranberry juice. Hated it and didn't finish.

    The next night (another party), I sipped 1 glass of wine over the course of 3 hours with no issues.

    I have enjoyed a few since then, but I think it's very important to log the calories, eat before you drink, and take an extra antacid before you drink.

    Interestingly enough, I have lost weight the days after drinking, so the weight loss is not an issue.

    Keep in mind, wine is 125 calories a glass and vodka/bourbon are around 90 a shot.
