Hi, i started transitioning 2 weeks ago tomorrow XD and i have been invited for a night out clubbing with my friends and i was wondering how much should i drink, my doctor said not to drink heavily which was extremely unhelpful  and i was just wondering what would be a sensible amount to drink i mean i rarely get to the stage of throwing up i usually just get myself tipsy so i can have a good time but i was warned i could potentially damage my liver and kidneys if i do or wont it hurt if its just once in a blue moon or should i wait until my body is more used to the hormones ?

Thanks
<3 Amy

Why not avoid getting "tipsy" and just nurse one or two drinks for the whole night.

Why don't you be the designated driver and stay sober? You'll know your friends made it home safely. Hugs, Devlyn

I havent been out since the start of uni again too the idiotic workload (i miss first year XD) and we usually get a taxi there and back and tbh 2 or 3 would probably be enough to get me tipsy the fun of being a lightweight :P

thanks for the advice

I think the alcohol may interfere with the hormones, and it definitely doesn't help your organs. Drink lightly, as you are someone who now takes a lifelong regimen of medications. Hugs, Devlyn

You want those hormones giving you the maximum benefit! Keep their hurdles low. Hugs, Devlyn

You just may find that 1-2 drinks is now your limit. Plus, add in the I am feeling so much better about myself and my life factor you no longer feel the need to drown your sorrows, even at an unconcious level.

Nurse yyour drinks, give them time, and have a great time out with your friends

Your a woman now honey.

The medical guidelines are 1 one uno one  standard alcoholic drink per day.
Not only do you have medical risks but woman have personal risks as well

As I said somewhere before; a man with one too many drinks is a man with one too many drinks.
A woman with one too many drinks is a target.
