Sleeve gastrectomy, common weight-loss surgery, lowers women's tolerance to alcohol

(University of Illinois College of Agricultural, Consumer and Environmental Sciences) Women who have had gastric sleeve surgery to lose weight may want to consider limiting the number of alcoholic drinks they consume post-surgery. A new study from a team of researchers at the University of Illinois found that after undergoing sleeve gastrectomy, women could be legally intoxicated after drinking half the number of drinks than women who did not have this surgery.
