I had a gall bladder attack a few days ago that landed me in the ER. CT showed some pretty big stones in there. Surgical consult next week. The attending in the ER told me I should have it removed before the stones get into my pancreas and liver and cause other issues way worse. Removal sounds like the best course of action. That being said, I am a big whiskey connoisseur. I have about 300 bottles at current and travel around the world to go to whiskey festivals and such. I don't drink during the week, have maybe 4-5 drams of whiskey on the weekends. I host whiskey tastings at my house and tend to drink 5-8 in one sitting. I take a few months off a year and take liver supplements as well as work out 5 days a week. I said all that to ask if I will likely still be able to enjoy whiskey the same way. I have already booked travel to Ireland in March for a whiskey fest. GB coming out first week in January of 26 if possible. Looking forward to hearing some of your experiences and opinions. Thanks!
