Drinking....................

Drinking....................

Really puts on pounds. Who's cutting out the spirits before your wedding? Or who has stoped completely? It really does make your face and belly swollen.

Re: Drinking....................

I have not started dieting yet, but have cut alcohol out. But every now and then I cheat.

Re: Drinking....................

GREAT question..

I hope this doesnt make me sound like an alcoholic...

I have cut out allllll mid-week drinking and the fall ALWAYS hits me hard because I find myself having a few of beers/drinks on Fri, Sat & Sun..

So Ive told my FH my new rule is drinking twice a week.. thats it..

I can easily drink 1000 calories a day in alcoholic drinks...

LUSH!

Re: Drinking....................

what i drink, besides the alcohol and yeast, has a lot of sugar!! (pinot grigio, mike's lemonades, etc) so i've already cut down a little bit and i'll be cutting down even more as the day gets closer and then probably cut it out completely before the wedding (except for when we are at the RD and things like that where i'll have a glass or two of wine)... but it definitely shows in the face and tummy!!! i try to, when i do drink a little, have a lot of water with it and i make sure to balance it with going to the gym and eating well overall.

it's tuff!!

Re: Drinking....................

I am on the Southbeach Diet ... therefore, I am allowed to have up to 2 glasses of wine, vodka, gin, whiskey, scotch, bourbon, tequila, or rum

Soooo .... my new favorite drink on the weekend is Diet Coke with Vodka, or Sangria (even though it has fruit juice in it)

Ohhh How I MISS my Malibu baybreezes and Ameretto Sours!!!!!!!!!

eta: and I drink ALOT of water also when I have a couple of drinks ....

Re: Drinking....................

I dont drink beer too much anymore. I tried to cut out on carbonated drinks.... RED WINE is my thing now..

Re: Drinking....................

I'm such a rare social drinker. I usually end up the DD for my friends. Which is cool and so much more fun to watch them all make fools of themselves!
The last time I had more than 1 drink was when we went out for our birthdays in Sept.

Re: Drinking....................

I have cut out most of my beer consumption (thats usually on fri/sat nights out) since i cut down on my 'nights out' b/c of saving funds for the wedding..

but i do keep a 6.99 bottle white merlot wine at home for a dinner drink or cleaning the houes on a weekend hahaha
yah i heart white merlot!

Re: Drinking....................

I am trying to, but somedays you really just need that glass of wine...

nposa07 Posted: Oct 25, 2006 10:43 AM

Re: Drinking....................

On the weekends I'll occasionally treat myself to some red wine or if I really need to losen up a good martini but not all the time....it's the food that I need to worry about now

Re: Drinking....................

Well I guess I am the alcoholic. NO, I have no intention of cutting out my booze. I have switched from screwdrivers to vodka and sprite zero but stopping drinking is just not worth it. I love the Irish Pub and well they don't serve food there so....

I do not drink during the week so my trainer at the gym said if I am not going to stop I at least have to cut out the juices and smirnoff ice, so be it Reynald... you win.

Re: Drinking....................

I am doing lo carb and I don't really drink that much but now that I read this post I will not be drinking until at the wedding

Re: Drinking....................

I'm with the other alckie's in the group. I'm not cutting out anything...I switched to light beer and drink white wine spritzers. If I want a martini, I have one. I would much rather forego food!

Re: Drinking....................

I have also cut out drinking with my diet. I don't drink during the week anymore- although tonight I'm going out (hahaha doesn't happen very often) and I can't really drink as much as I used to. Now when I look at a beer I see all of the calories!!

ALCHY!!! Ha! I'm right there with you. I just got a call from our local bar saying I won a bottle of vodka for myself and 5 friends - I'm ALL OVER IT! I guess I can make an exception 'this Thursday,' and probably next, and the one after that, and the one after that ...
