When Did You

Have your first alcoholic drink and what was it?

When I was 15, it was a cheap nasty Genny Cream Ale :ph34r:

I had mine about four weeks after surgery, and it was just a sip! It seriously burns my stomach and goes right through me. It is awkward going to bars and your friends and bartender asking, "Oh, you don't like your drink? You've barely touched it!!". I cannot throw them back like I used to. There's no room, and my tolerance has become soooo low!

[Nate 292]

Seriously though I'm not much of a drinker. So if and or when I do have anything it will probably be a gin and cranberry or something similar.

Ohhhh. You mean in general! Haha sorry! Mine was at 17. I'm not condoning underaged drinking by any means, but whenever I did until I was 21, it was either at my house, NOT on the road, or at a trusted friend's parents house. The mindset was that at least if we were going to drink, we'd be supervised and not out where no one knew where to find us. Also, parents never provided it to us. That was up to our finding.

Nah I'm pretty sure the original poster means post sleeve. I just couldn't pass up the opportunity to be a smart ass lol.

I had a sip or two of wine about 6 weeks post sleeve, and a full drink (vodka cranberry) about 3 months post-sleeve, but I am not much of a drinker!

[jaymzee 79]

Haha ohhh this made me giggle.

2.5 months out. And I have had 3-4 beers a week since :-)

Doesn't beer bloat you? I love the smell but am to chicken to even take a sip! I use to drink 8 to 10 beers when I would go out. Maybe 1 day, our block party is in a month so maybe I will splurge then if I have past my losing goal!

nope! I drink about 3 sparking waters a day as well. Carbonation doesn't bother me a bit.
