As for the drinking part, and I mean this in the most compassionate way-- if you're able to "drink like a sailor" after this surgery, you must have been working up to it for quite a while and have built a pretty high tolerance. And if you're drinking to the point where you've developed a high tolerance, that's a major sign that you could have a drinking problem.
I urge you to talk about this honestly with your doctor, and get your liver and pancreas checked out. Also, think about taking someone you're comfortable with and go to an AA meeting or two. You won't have to stand up and talk, just go and be there for the experience. It can't hurt.
