I try to have wine at special occasions now. I have no problems counting the calories, but always head for nibbles and cheese and go overboard!0

I ordered it on Amazon.0 -
I have to limit myself with wine for a few reasons: I have a hard time controlling myself around an open bottle at home, and I don't like cheap wines. When going out, I like to have a drink while everyone else has a drink, but I can get through two glasses of wine while my friends nurse one beer or cocktail (pansies).
When my goal is weight-loss, I allow myself one night a week to drink what I want (unless it's football season, then it's one night and Sunday afternoon).
When my goal is maintenance, I can have it a little more frequently; I just make sure it fits into my calorie goal for maintenance.0 -
That glass is so cool! I'm tempted to order one to save all the wine I end up spilling using my 125ml measuring cup...
I prelog my wine. 125ml at a time. Since losing weight I have a much lower tolerance for alcohol, and since having kids I have a much lower tolerance for hangovers, so my drinking has become naturally more moderate. I drink on the weekends, and maybe Monday if there's a little bit left in the bottle...

same here. some type of alchohol 6-7 days a week. Maybe I would have lost faster but I dont think it would have been as enjoyable.0 -
I love it, too. But I have two issues with it: My idea of a glass of wine is more than half the bottle. Then of course the remainder fits nicely in my coffee cup for a couple hours later!
I always get the alcohol munchies and can't resist indulging. My kryptonite? A bottle of cheap red wine, a loaf of bread, a jar of peanut butter and a jar of jam. Throw some ice cream in there, and I'm in hog heaven.
Until the next morning, that is.0 -

Times past when I've been restricting calories I've added the wine calories in, without going over my calorie budget.
But I don't need it, and I could cut my calorie budget a little more without it. So I've decided to cut it out entirely until I get the fat under control a little better, then only have a couple glasses on Saturday, and I will count the calories.
Maybe Scotch and Coke Zero then?
Sadly, it's just not the same with diet coke, and ends up being a waste of good liquor (IMO).

Diet Coke is gross. Coke Zero tastes much more like regular Coke, IMO.0 -
Coke Zero tastes like regular Coke to me. Diet Coke is gross, I agree with that.0
