The study found that for people who had the surgery, drinking 5 ounces of wine would give them an average blood alcohol level of 0.08, while the level of non-patients was only at 0.05. People who had the surgery also took 108 minutes to sober up, while non-patients only needed 72 minutes. Since the stomach is smaller after bypass, alcohol is absorbed faster...
