Is it safe to drink a beer after I've had my appendix removed?

It depends on the type of surgery you had. If your surgeon was careful and did not damage the nerves that control digestion, then it is probably safe to consume alcoholic beverages. However, if there was any damage to these nerves, then consuming alcohol could cause problems with digestion. You should consult with your doctor before drinking any alcoholic beverages following an appendectomy.
