Blood alcohol concentrations (BAC) (panel A) and subjective feelings of drunkenness (panel B) after alcohol ingestion (0.5 g/kg FFM, which is equivalent to ~2 standard drinks) in women who had SG surgery (n=11) or RYGB surgery (n= 8) 1–5 years ago, and in non-operated controls (pre-surgery, n=9). For each time point, scores on feelings of drunkenness on the alcohol day were subtracted from scores on the placebo day. *P <.05 SG group vs. both RYG and pre-surgery groups within a time point; †P <.05 RYGB group vs. pre-surgery group within a time point; § P <.05 pre-surgery group vs. both RYGB and SG within a time point; #P <.05 from baseline.Shown in red, the BAC threshold for binge drinking defined by the National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism, which is also the BAC limit for driving in the United States.
