It will depend upon the nature of surgery. For minor operation under a local or regional Anaesthesia one can drink immediately after surgery.

Anaesthetic agents can give rise to some nausea and this may delay and prevent drinking immediately after surgery.


Can you drink alcohol while taking lymecycline?

There is no major problem in taking a little bit of alcohol during this treatment. However, minocycline is metabolized by the liver and shouldn't be used with alcohol as long as it asks a lot of work from the liver as the same time. You can drink alcohol, but in lower doses than before, and in exceptional cases. If you wanna drink a lot, please do NOT stop your antibiotics. This contributes to bacterial resistance and doesn't change your capacity to drink alcohol.

What alcohol can you drink after weight loss surgery casually?

You should be able to consume alcohol of any type after your weight loss surgery. That won't be the real issue.What type of surgery you have will determine how you process the alcohol. If you have the standard gastric bypass, alcohol will not have a chance to be broken down in your stomach prior to being absorbed by the intestines resulting in becoming accidentally very drunk very quickly.Take alcohol consumption as a very serious matter until you have become familiar with the way it affects you and even then, you should probably just play it safe and take a cab home if you are planning on having more than one standard drink.
