Congrats on your date. Doc will tell you to be careful. One drink is like having 5. You may bump from too much sugar also.

One thing is for sure. You'll be able to enjoy the experience of being a 21-year-old for less cash outlay than anyone in the bar!! That stuff is usually diluted and buffered in your stomach, but you won't have one, so it'll go straight into the intestines, where it's absorbed very quickly directly into the blood stream at full potency. You'll get a louder buzz, sooner, with less booze than you thought possible! Just don't plan on driving if you have even a half a drink!!

Welcome to the board, thank you for joining us.
Congratulations on your date.
(((((HUGS))))) May your journey go well.
Tread carefully with alcohol.
First off, if your surgeon says NO, then it's best to stay away from it.
Second, alcohol is empty calories, so it will get in the way of your weight loss--slow you down.
Third, it will be absorbed quickly, and you may recover quickly too, it will seem, but beware, it will be lurking unrecognized by you, especially since you are a novice at alcohols.
Four, NEVER EVER mix gasoline and drinks if you wan to to avoid any brush with the law, someone with a normal stomach may manage to get away with it, but bypass patients never will.
Five, beware of addiction transfer. If you are a foodie now, then be warned that you just may transfer that to alcohol, because you can't get much food in when you're upset and need comfort, but alcohol will just slide through your system. The shortcut, almost direct route to the liver will also enhance this effect.

Doc had this so right. There used to be a poster in here that stated in her surgeons office there where 5 people on drunk driving charges after having one beer and driving. No it dont get better either meaning the more you drink the less it effects you.
They are so right saying it goes to you fast and makes you drunk quick. I would really stay away from it the best you can even though your turning 21 or have. It will make you dump. You will know a dump when it happens and belive me it cures alot of stuff from doing it again.
Im with CT your gonna get all the joys and more of a 21 year old without all the alochol. My son is 24 and I was 21 once also and I know its like a licence to drink but in the end......... chose you new life over that anyday. Im so happy that you have chose to do this at such a early age and get a grasp on your life so young.
