Not much: Sensitivity to alcohol can vary, discuss with your doctor, but would likely be very limited consumption if any.

Gilbert's Disease: Those with gilbert's may have mild elevations of bilirubin, due to a reduction in metabolism. This appears to be the only change, and you should metabolize alcohol normally.
