Reminds me there are several studies showing a very high occurrence of alcohol use disorder following bariatric surgery. Depends on whether you look at lifetime risk or immediate risk, but the numbers are really high...20 to 30%. Various theories, like addiction transfer from food to alcohol, that euphoric effects are so much more quickly felt, post surgical depression, etc. But nobody really seems to know for sure. | ||||||||
