Preparation for night of drinking

I dont really drink due to the fact that when i
Have just one beer it hits me like i had a six pack.
I think its due to the fact that we dehydrate easier
One piece of advice would be to drink plenty of water in between drinks.

The only preperation I make is to be sure I have gone to the bathroom once after eating and I will preemptively take 2 immodiums and a heaping teaspoon of metamucil.

I also try not to have meal when drinking. A little snacking holds me over. Water is a good idea but I usually chug that after Im done drinking.

If you're going to be out all day, carry some extra immodium/metamucil wafers/baby wipes with you. I also tend to stick with hard liquor (vodka cranberry or the like) and a beer here and there.

I just make sure to drink 1 glass of water (at least) for every alcoholic beverage WHILE drinking.

I actually prefer to eat when I drink. It's worse for me otherwise.

I'm a wine drinker, though, and wine is NOT a good alcohol for "pounding." Which is why I'm a 1-2 drink drinker (maybe 3 on a long day/night).

I'll drink water and have a couple of bananas before I head out, and take a pre-emptive Immodium, and probably again when I get in (depending on how drunk I am and can remember!).

I'm seven months post op and have tried to have a few drinks a couple of times. I use to be able to handle a night of drinking, not anymore!

What I found works for me is cranberry and vodka. One or two and I'm pretty buzzed. I DO dri k water whole out having these drinks... No food!

Any other drinks and I'm in bed with a severe headache and water faucet diahrea and dehydrated. Gatorade when I go to bed.

I used to pop a couple Imodium with my first drink, but then I realized I didn't really need to. Plus, the Imodium gave me the tolerance of a frickin' bull (six rum drinks at 140 lbs and only a light buzz). Fortunately, alcohol doesn't seem to have a negative affect on my j-pouch. I can drink whatever I want and am just fine. Just watch out for dehydration.
