Yes, you can. I recommend you wait until 6 months after surgery to drink alcohol. Remember you will have a low tolerance and less weight, so the alcohol may affect you more. Also, drinking alcohol reduces inhibitions and may make it easier to eat foods you should avoid. Good luck!
Yes, there is no specific reason to avoid alcohol.
