    I had a friend who was kind of a jerk about smoking when I quit smoking. He got pretty obnoxious and I started avoiding him. He never quit smoking and last week died of a heart attack which his cardiologist said was likely if he didn't quit. Most people really didn't care when I quit drinking, even the drinkers. If your friends really care, even after you explain how important it is to you they are likely jealous. If they give you too much crap you may have to avoid them to meet your health and fitness goals. It sucks to lose friends, but if they're not supportive what kind of friends are they really? Life is too short too hang out with jerks, even if they're your friends.

    led tv on wall + treadmill + alcohol = win

    Also, maybe its just me but once i start eating food i dont want any more beers. I could drink 6-12 beers no problem on an empty stomach but if im 3-6 beers in and eat dinner, i dont want anymore beers.

    My goodness you have a lot of excuses.

    Be a grown up and either say no or consume a limited/reasonable amount.

    I was at a bar for 4 hours last night. I had one glass of wine. No one noticed or cared. Eventually everyone got drunk and REALLY didn't notice. I just smiled because I knew I had calories saved up for a lovely snack at home, and that I was going to wake up feeling awesome.

    This is pretty much my experience. I'm at bars two or three times a week for social dancing and hardly ever drink.

    Nobody cares.

    I know it's been said a million times but..I'm a guy in my 20s and the amount of hell I take from friends when I don't drink with them is rough..so I drink, not often, but a lot..and I also eat when I drink..
    Just sharing for those in a similar boat.

    Why not keep offering to be the designated driver. Just think how awesome a friend they will think you are then!

    Lol woke up this morning hung over and frustrated about calories..luckily I bank a lot of cals through the week for this sort of thing...either way I think I'm just going to put my foot down with the buddies from now on, maybe only drink heavenly every month or two.

    OP, is there anything about this whole losing weight thing that you don't cry about? I fear you're going to fall off the wagon spectacularly.

    Im fairly sure by "fear" you mean "eagerly await"...well, sorry to disappoint, but I'm in it for the long haul, and expressing frustrations as they come is part of my process. Clearly some users here either share my sentiment, or have useful advice, so that's not gonna change.

    Jose Quervo is my best friend on weekends. A shot has only 96 calories. Paired with an empty stomach and a couple lime wedges, I can feel pretty good in only 500-600 cals and still have enough calories saved for drunk food later. Can always save up calories during the week too if you have trouble limiting the drinks when you're already toasted.

    I like a glass or two of pinot grigio or cabernet sauvignon with dinner too but I'll usually cut it with club soda.

    I DD for my friends when I don't drink so they don't usually bug me about why I'm not drinking. I just sip on waters at the bar

    This happened to me a lot in college...honestly I would just drink a few vodka water limes...then just switch to water and they wouldn't really notice.

    I am addicted to the hard root beers. Specificly Coney Island hard root beer. And my goto beer is Hoegaarden. Both are heavy calorie beers so i exercise early in the day so i can drink later that night, or if i am at home watching a UFC fight i will walk on my treadmill while i drink and watch the fights. LOL

    Time flys when your drunk and into the fights.
