Guest guest Posted June 3, 2001 Report Share Posted June 3, 2001 I was just wondering after reading people's posts on other lists how the DS is affected by alcohol. I would assume its not a good idea to drink alot...but I do once in awhile like a cooler or two or a beer...maybe even a hard alcohol drink like at Xmas. I rarely drink more than two ever, but wondered if anyone has had anything extremely bad happen or knows what is advised.

Guest guest Posted June 3, 2001 Report Share Posted June 3, 2001 I have found out that for some strange reason..I am able to drink only mixed drinks..I can not drink beer at all and as for wine..it must be of quality...when I drink now...it seems that after a few I am feeling very well...and then it seems to be OK...but it hits me hard the next day..not sure why...before surgery I drank beer and did not have any problems what so ever..now I end up with a stomach ache..not worth it for me. hope that helps.. Thanks...maybe I'll find something else to sip...LOL I hate feeling under the weather after a drink...to many reminders of my early 20's ...LOL ~~* AJ *~~ BMI 58 NW Washington Medical DR Heap, Richland WA Working on 1st appeal Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted June 3, 2001 Report Share Posted June 3, 2001 Hi AJ: I have a glass of wine 2-3 times a week in the evening and I have had a cocktail, (scotch and soda) when I am out to dinner but I am 29 months post-op and I did not drink until I was 2 years post-op just to sure I did not stress my liver. But there is no problems now. Huggles, Tiger Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted June 3, 2001 Report Share Posted June 3, 2001 Hi Amy, Dr. Heap never said anything to me about not drinking alcohol. I have had beer (just one) on a couple of occasions and have not had a problem with it. I waited until I was about 6 weeks post-op before I had one. > I was just wondering after reading people's posts on other lists how the DS > is affected by alcohol.
