Alcoholic beverages?

I still drink on weekends. Alcoholic...maybe. Who cares I'm in my own home and I enjoy it!

I was never a big drinker to begin with, so I actually drink just as much as I use to.. very rarely. When I do drink, I avoid carbonation & beers (tastes like piss to me anyway). I normally have some froofroo drink that is laden with empty calories.. get nice and buzzy, and have some shots that I have no idea the caloric intake. Since it happens only once every 1-2 months, I don't worry about it.

I wouldn't recommend drinking regularly just because of the high calories. Go google nutritional info of whatever drink you like... it's scary..

I drink occassionaly.... like for my birthday this weekend I had quite a few. Every once in a while I will go out with friends and drink some wine. I try to limit it to wine for the more frequent occassion and then hard liquor is only for special occasions.

Hey im 22, had the band before i was legal so i had a different experience on my 18th (legal age in Oz) but i still drink. I find i cant drink a lot very fast because my stomach swells like a balloon and it tends to come up cause the band is stuffed full but i drank while i was losing weight ...every weekend and usually pretty hard core ... have settled down a bit now lol

I still lost weight it just meant i needed to make sure i made really good choices food wise during the week. The mixed drinks are full of sugar but they are what i drank...come to think of it i drink anything without problems.

If you find your gaining weight just up the exercise or cut back the booze. I figured i got the band to help me change my life but i still want to enjoy it!!!

Has anybody had a drink after a fill? I have some major issues to handle this evening and I'm going in for a fill. I am going to probably want one small drink after I lay the people out who have been talking very very badly about me so I was just wondering I know I will be on liquids for 2 days then mushy for 2 days but can I have one small drink or will that hurt my bands restriction?
