NYGMEN 0 Posted May 27, 2008 So i was banned on 1/25/08 and have been happy so far. But I have not had ANY soda or beer since. I don't really want soda, I'm happy with Propel and CL. But i would love to have a beer from time to time. I hear a number of reasons for not having it. From the gas will do something to the band to it hurts if you try and drink it. So has anyone had a tap beer and if so how has it been? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
juliegeraci 7 Posted May 27, 2008 You have to temper it. If it hurts going down I wouldn't have it. I drink champagne on a regular basis without problem. You need to just try it to see if it gives you any gas or backup problems. Enjoy. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
aubrie 6 Posted May 28, 2008 I haven't had in any in 6 months but took a sip of my husbands beer last weekend. First sip was okay. the second felt funny so I stopped immediately. I dind't want to go there. I miss my beer too. But I have switched to an occasional glass of wine or a small bloody mary with V8 instead. I works for me.

Big Dan 2 Posted May 28, 2008 Yeah, I'm thinking this summer on a hot day that a cold beer would hit the spot but I'm afraid it may be more trouble than it's worth. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Bigb 0 Posted May 28, 2008 I drank beer regularly up until my last fill. I had 7ccs in a 10cc band and drank beer fine. Now I have 9ccs and can't get it to go down. I guess i'll quit drinking beer, but taquila has no bubbles in it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
aubrie 6 Posted May 29, 2008 Alcohol and the band is a funny thing. Be careful when you decide to experiment with it. It now packs a punch. I went to Vegas recently with my DH and went to an awesome tower overlooking the city for drinks. I had two small martinis. I don't remember going down the elevator or leaving that place, or riding in the taxi. That's scarey. I wasn't like that prior to a band, so BE CAREFUL.
