| Obviously there's the risk of frequent vomiting from overindulgence. Vomiting with a Lap Band can be risky.
And then there's the loss of your good sense if you've had a few, eating things that will get stuck, not eating carefully etc.
And lowered tolerance of alcohol. I'd have to say my alcohol tolerance is fairly normal again now, meaning 2 or 3 glasses of wine over a couple of hours is fine for me. But for ages, I really had to watch it, I'd find myself getting very tipsy from one drink. When you're used to being able to have a drink when you're out and still drive, you have to watch that. I may not have been over .05 (the legal limit here) but I was NOT fit to drive.
And alcohol is a load of empty calories and affects your state of wellbeing, your food choices and exercise ability and habits.
BUT - at the seminar I was at last week (for my DH) the doctor said that they find that their patients that have a glass of wine at night actually DO better than their teetotalling patients.
