Firstly - thanks to everyone for their contributions.
I guess now this has moved more to interest rather than my own personal experience, and hopefully others who come to search the forum will find this thread useful.
Totally get the point on zero correlation between alcoholics and MPB, but, isn’t there a difference between newly implanted grafts and hairs that haven’t been implanted? And if so, when can we stop thinking of grafts as ‘new’, i.e. when do they behave like normal non-transplanted grafts? Is this after that precarious 10-14 day post-op period, as soon as they are completely bound to your scalp and would require surgery to remove them?
Or alternatively, do they continue needing extra nutrients (and where alcohol may become problematic as it is also carried in the bloodstream) for a while in order to survive? And if the answer to this is ‘yes’, then how long is a while?
