At your discretion
I couldn't drink regular coffee until about 4 months post-op because it made me too jittery. I can have small amounts of alcohol, but it's not really my thing anyway, so I don't miss it. I will have about 1/2 a glass of wine occassionally, but that's about it.
I think it all boils down to what you can tolerate - just start off slow (sip someone else's coffee or drink before you buy your own), and give your pouch about 5 minutes after the first sip to see if you can handle it.
Good luck!
