Hello Everyone.  I just had my GB removed on Dec 18th.  After coming down with a cold and consuming almost 1/3 of a 5th of Paul Masson in hot toddies, I didn't get a buzz, tipsy, hungover or anything the next day.  So, the following day I made two of my usual cocktails of rum and juice and felt nothing.  Prior to having my GB removed, I couldn't drink more than 2 drinks without feeling sick with a headache or nausea the next day. So, I think having my GB has had adverse effects on my tolerance level.  Guess I will be drinking water from now on.  Yay me on my way to an absolutely healthy liver.  No sense in drinking if there will it not mellow me out or get me a little tipsey.
