    I have cut way back on drinking. Now that I don't drink much, I rarely ever get sick anymore. Alcohol weakens your immune system. I used to get sick literally every single time after I would go out drinking. Too many empty calories too!

    I've always heard you should avoid drinking your calories (including juice, soda, etc) I throw ice cream into that mix because it's too easy for me to eat it down quickly.

    Do whatever works for you. I am able to have a couple drinks on Saturdays, along with a cookie or 2 or some cake, plus some nice calorie dense nuts, and have still lost over 120 lbs.

    Fml is all I can say. My fiancé and I rarely drink anymore but this summer has so much going on that I'm actually nervous about it lol.. This is my second time at it. I found the first time it helped to have a cheat day. That was my go out with my friends eat and drink what I want days! Seemed to work:)

    Depends how much. Although empty calories. I say if it fits your macros do it. It really depends on your goal. If you want to be super cut then ditch it.. Geeze I need to listen to my own advice...lol.. Actually day 2 on a no alcohol regime at present.

    LOL!



    Hahahaha!

    I have a Jack and Pepsi most nights. I enter it in the tracker in the morning before I even start eating so this calories are already gone lol. I make sure to get all of my water in through out the day and if not then I won't have my drink. I don't remove it from the tracker though, i just drink two on Saturday lol it works for me.
