I have been dealing with minor gynecomastia for several years (am 20 years old). I am scheduled to have the gynecomastia surgery in October. I am going back to college and would like to start drinking again - if I drink once a week, maybe 4-5 drinks, will that cause my gynecomastia to return, or should I limit it to once every two weeks, 4-5 drinks? I otherwise lead a healthy lifestyle (vegan diet, limited exercise - can't wait train due to injuries, but bike and walking).
