    When I started this lifestyle change I gave up beer... switched to tito's instead. LOL Seriously though, I don't drink often, we dont even have alcohol in the house unless we are having a party so the titos are far and few in between. Except for on St Patrick's day that is... :pB)o:)

    I have only one or two drinks per week (if I have calories to spare). My wife recently requested that I brew a new batch of beer for her birthday. I'm planning to give all of it away after her party to get it out of the house as quickly as possible.

    My fiance ended up in the hospital for 5 days with acute paincreatitis from drinking. It was very scary for both of us. We have both been sober ever since. :)

    My hubby buys beer he knows I wont drink.. Which is good although I dont drink at home anyways unless we have company.. But thats a great idea to give it away after if you think you need to do it..

    I'm from Denmark, we don't really do "no alcohol". I get a few beers here and there, and every now and then I go for a proper night out with live music and beers. If I didn't have my party nights and festivals, I'd go crazy.

    I am about a week away from 5 months. It wasn't just for weight loss. In fact it wasn't even for weight loss, really, but it helps. A lot. Not only because of the calories in the drinks but also because I got hungry for things like a big plate of corn chips with cheese melted all over them. I hope I am done with alcohol, done with being fat and done with making excuses.

    Good for you!! How much weight have you lost so far.. I am down 20 pounds

    I quit nightly wine drinking when I started my diet change and don't miss it a bit now. I do drink a couple glasses of wine if I am in social situations, but skip the beer as the ones I like are very high in calories. My daughter brought me back a bottle of tequila when she was in Mexico and I did enjoy making a lime Margarita before dinner, and the calories were low with just an ounce of booze and no sugary mixers.

    Not weekdays but on weekends. When I hit maintenance I know I will have drinks now and then, so I want to learn how to master these empty calories now. When I was on maintenance after a 45 lb lost (10 years ago), I restricted to non existence the items that I enjoyed so when I went to maintenance I lost my mind and gained 45 lb plus another 45. So I'm enjoying the things I enjoy just less of it.

    When I knew I had to lose weight, I made the decision to consume less alcohol (although not stop entirely), so I had a rule where if I had work the next day, then I would not drink the day before. Of course, that just meant I went nuts come the weekend, but eventually, it just sorta ended up weaning me off alcohol entirely. I certainly didn't mean for it to happen that way, but January will mark two years of sobriety, and to be honest, I don't actually miss it.

    Good for you!! Thats awesome!!! I am hoping to do the same..
