Re: Alcohol and the sleeve
That is totally Bizarre!! Most people cannot drink as much. maybe you just get drunk faster now so you drink more? I used to enjoy drinking socially (not really to get really DRUNK) I would have wine or martini's over the course of an evening i could drink 2-3 at most without getting plastered. but now...it is HORRIBLE i can only drink about 1/4 a glass of wine. the first time i was handed a Martini i drank half of it and found myself unable to stand up and i could barely speak. I had not been that stinking drunk since my wild young days of Party-till-you-drop faze! Now i pretty much take a couple sips of my hubby's drink and call it good! Definitely a cheap Drunk! ah well, Alchohol is fattening so at least that is a positive for my teetotal situation! Love Rainbow
Re: Alcohol and the sleeve
I was just think about all those wasted carbs your taking in 6-8 beers???
Re: Alcohol and the sleeve
I stopped drinking on March 20th - I was drinking a half a gallon of vodka a week :) No more beer for me, im not going to waste the calories.
Re: Alcohol and the sleeve
Doesn't beer count as carbonation? I can't imagine drinking a beer now (don't get me wrong, I LOVE a good beer). They filled me up so quickly that I can't even think how fast it would fill me up now. I can have a glass of red wine without dificulty though. Haven't tried anything else. Going to the Indy 500 on Sunday and will probably have a little something.
Re: Alcohol and the sleeve
Wow I can't handle any carbanation, although I can drink like you too. I can finish a whole bottle of Vodka and still be OK. I stay away from beer because it probably the worse alcholic beverage you can drink. I believe that's where I gained all my weight before surgery.
Re: Alcohol and the sleeve
I only have it once in a while....just something I noticed is all, it's weird. I wonder if our stomachs don't absorb the full amount of alcohol? Thanks for the responses everyone.
