Question about Alchol
i started drinking about 2 months out (early i know, my surgeon recommended 3 months but i wanted a drink on my birthday and didn't really have another one til the 3 month mark). it reacts the same way with me, except that i'm now the opposite of a normal person, if i eat within an hour before i drink i get drunk quick, if i don't i don't get drunk.
a lot of people do get drunk very quickly though

I don't drink a lot, but do have wine with dinner on certain occasions and will have a mixed drink once in a while.
For me, the wine seems to take effect more quickly and then wear off more quickly. I generally only have a glass or two at a time, in fact I rarely, now that I think about it, have a second glass. I just don't feel the need. It is a nice accompaniement (sp?) to a nice dinner once in a blue moon.
Would never drive after drinking even one though because I've heard that our blood alcohol levels get all out of whack after this surgery and the last thing I need is a ticket.
Physically though, I've had no problems and I've had wine, mixed drinks and even a couple of strawberry daquiris (not recently, all spread over the last 2+ years of course, lol).
If you are going to try it, you might just want to try your first one and home. You don't want to be out in public if it makes you start dumping, or if you haven't learned how much you can drink without getting drunk. Because believe me, the effects do hit you A LOT faster post-op.
