    Not right now (haha) but normally 1-2 glasses of wine most nights, a little more on weekends

    My roommate does... but around here we all agree he has a problem.

    I do not drink daily, but I do like a glass of red wine now and again :)

    I drink a glass or two of wine most nights, not all...but most days. Probably 5 days a week.

    Losing weight doesnt mean suffering... No plans to stop drinking as this is a lifestyle adjustment right?! Not just a diet.. And i have no plans to stop drinking completely in the future! So just gotta factor it in...

    Nope. Maybe once every 6 months. Lienenkugels or Strongbow.

    I had wine most nights while losing and most nights while maintaining. Lately I've reduced that, but primarily because of menopause/sleep issues.

    Most nights I have either a beer or a glass of bourbon. I actually found a set of measured pour spouts I put on my liquor bottles that automatically pours either 1 or 2 ounces since I got tired of measuring :)

    I often have a small glass of bourbon while I'm cooking dinner.

    I drink just about every day. Mostly wine, 5-20 ounces. I'm currently maintaining, but I drank when I was losing weight too.

    Wow lots of wine drinkers here! How do you guys do it?? Wine gives me the most godawful headaches :(

    I don't drink much at all, sorry. If I do, it's sipping on whiskey, at the most maybe 3 ounces, and maybe once a month if that.

    Wine only gives me a headache if I drink too much. I have heard that wine can be a headache trigger for some people. Alcohol with lots of sugar always gives me a terrible headache.

    I only get headaches from bad wine :)

    Any kind of red I have every tried in my life gives me a headache within 20 minutes of one sip of the stuff. I don't really like the taste anyway, i'll stick to whiskey. :)

    This is like me with champagne so I just avoid it or take one small sip to participate when there is a celebration

    I like beers and ciders and drink one maybe 4 days a week. I also like a nice hot-toddy in the evening now and then. I count booze as a snack and save 250 calories for desert of booze.

    Sadly, no. Alcohol is how I gained all my extra weight in the first place and I have no self-control when it comes to drinking. :( Maybe someday I can add it back in.

    I have a couple glasses of wine or beer pretty much every night. Weekends I drink more usually.

    I quit about 2 1/2 months ago. I had been drinking every day - 6-8 ounces of hard liquor. I had a habit that made weight loss nearly impossible. Some years ago, I had some success in Weight Watchers, tracking a couple of shots a day. I'm now on 1200 calories per day plus exercise - 1-2 ounces daily might not hurt, but it wouldn't help either. I've made a personal choice to avoid it altogether.

    Could be the sulfites.


    I drink whiskey most nights. How much really depends. I'll have more if I am tasting with friends, or if I just crack open a new bottle I've never had before (just opened a Balcones Single Malt last night). I always pour an ounce at a time (to track calories). I drink it neat, with a splash of water.

    Building a small collection.

    I have a glass (150ml) of Chardonnay with dinner everyday. Its my treat after drinking water all day long.

    Wine or beer 3-4x/week. The plus is that not being a big drinker anyway plus restricting calories & losing weight, I never need a second drink! I had a second beer last weekend at a friend's house and boy, I felt tipsy--I'm a definite lightweight in that department now :)

    Most nights I have some kind of beer. I'm craft beer aficionado so I get mixed 6-packs from my local bottle shop, usually latest or limited releases. I enjoy thoroughly and check them in to Untappd.

    We're coming up on doppelbock and imperial stout season. Making room in the calorie budget was easier in the summer when I was drinking gose, hefeweizen, and saison.

    I don't drink every night maybe once or twice a week. When I do it's a few pints of ale, rarely drink wine and then it's only white.

    I was thinking about joining Untappd. Problem is, I have to have my allergies well under control, or beer just makes them go crazy. So I don't drink it often. That said, our local brewery (New Republic) has an AMAZING barrel aged RIS (they use the whiskey barrels from the distillery next door). Unfortunately, you can only get it at the brewery, and they are on their last barrel. Though they said they will be bottling their porter this winter, so I can look forward to that at least.

    In my explorations, I've found that Texas has a lot of good IPAs and double IPAs. Karbach Hopadillo, Deep Ellum IPA, Southern Star Honesty of Reason, New Republic Whipsaw. Though I won't turn down something like Deschutes Pine Drops either.

    But yeah. I prefer stouts in general. Convict Hill, and Founder's Breakfast Stout are two of my (easy to find) favorites.
