Ashley...I don't really pay too much attention, sadly, to what I spend on booze. I have to say most of it comes form Costco and it is usually reasonably priced.

Yea I'm still drinking daily and not losing weight, go figure
But, I love the Truly waters. They are about 9 a six pack here too. I also like Whiteclaw...same idea but I can usually find those a bit cheaper.0 -
Great job Kate! That is an impressive feat!
Shinedown concert was awesome; I'm very, very tired today...but did not have one drop of alcohol last night! Score!!0 -
Just go back from a few days at Mt Adams. Was warm and we chased the shade around during the afternoon. Lots of food and booze. I will need to get back on track!
It looks as if everyone is doing fantastic!0 -

Happy Monday all! 0 -
I, on the other hand, didn't fair as well.
Friday I moderated with just 1 beer. Saturday I worked out before hosting a BBQ. Met the son's new girlfriend. Drank a bottle of wine and had 2 tequilas.
Yesterday I had 1 beer but ate all the carbs. Like every carb I could find.
Time to reset.0 -
We drank a lot Friday and stayed up past 2am. I probably drank a bottle and a half of wine.
Saturday we went to a late breakfast and our friends left around noon. Kids napped, we watched a movie and then went shopping and got Daphne's ears pierced. She screamed and cried, but ultimately wanted them and now is so happy with her fancy earrings. I had a beer and half a glass of wine at dinner and a glass of wine at home. Went to bed at 10.
Yesterday I had some wine with lunch, grocery shopped, had a beer, had a cider at the pool, and then drank slowly the rest of the night. I paced myself and went to bed around 11 so feel fine today.
I don't know what I have planned this week. It is SO nice out and there is beer in the fridge and an unopened bottle of red so we'll see.0 -
Friday night fishing and coronas at the beach, two bombs and 2 cocktails.
Saturday, we went on an amazing hike, then lunch.
Sunday, we just hung around, did some chores and drank some margaritas.
Fantastic weekend!!!!!!!!!!

Tuesday - I opened a bottle of homemade wine (from KY....never a good thing) and mixed with sparkling water and it was not bad at first. I finished 1.5 wine spritzers and had half a cider.
Wednesday - 2 beers and they just made me bloated.
We're going to the KY State fair tonight! So I will likely eat corn dogs and drink draft beer.
I did my second morning yoga class today. It was good! I am actually liking this getting up early thing. Although I seem to be more tired in the mornings.0 -
Moderating a bit. Now if I can coordinate that with eating right and getting in some exercise!0

Going out to dinner tonight...haven't decided if I'm having a drink at dinner or not...guess I"ll figure it out when I get there.
Happy weekend everyone!!0 -
Hi all, sorry I have been MIA. so busy at work no time to jump on and say hi. I took today off. I did good last night with only having one vodka rock and then drank water the rest of the night. The scale has crept up and I know I am not drinking enough water so that is my go forward plan for a while, at least during the week. I need to be sure to drink 8 oz between any drinks during the weekend.
It sounds like you are all doing well. On the topic of booze cost. We have the highest sales tax on booze anywhere. I can buy a 1.75 Litre of Platinum Vodka 18 bucks but then you take on the litre tax and the other taxes and it is about 26 bucks out the door. Even buying things at Costco you get hit with the taxes. Wine isn't hit that way though so I usually spend between 10-15 for a nice bottle.0 -

Thurs - all the beer. We were at the fair for SEVEN hours! It was so fun. We spent so much money, but it was worth it. We saw all the livestock and rode rides and ate carnie food and listened to bad cover bands. It was great. Maybe I'll take it easy tonight.0 -
Look at all those 0's!! I had 0 last night but have had wine all week. Off to another staycation...last of the summer. Heading downtown on the water which is always fun...good food and drinks. Got concert tickets months ago for the husband to see Journey..that's on Tuesday. Then it's back to reality until we head to our annual Palm Springs trip at the end of September.0

Early morning snorkeling tomorrow then brunch then who knows!!!!
Sunday, my only plans are to not set the alarm and sleep in (yeah wish me luck with that...always seem to get up at 7-730 on the weekends) I have to cook a bit too.
Have an awesome weekend everyone!!!!!!!0 -

Saturday - 3 Barcardi & PepsiMax....the streak is over. It had to end some time!
Snorkeling sounds like such fun!! 0 -
Friday ended up drinking a bottle of wine but went to bed early. Saturday drank all day at our friends'. It was fun hanging out. Was a little rough yesterday but we had to drive back to Louisville, shower, and go to a birthday party and then a pool party where I had 2 margarita/peach mango daiquiri blends. I was asleep before 10.
We have another busy week this week but I'm going to try to keep booze reasonable. We head to St. Louisville Saturday for the weekend. Have a great week lushes!0 -

Sunday - 1 Long island ice tea
Monday - husband has really been wanting to try Manhattan's for some odd reason...so I made us each one. I did not care for it at all...so 1/2 a drink?? Gave the rest to my husband - he didn't really care for it either...finally - an alcohol drink we don't care for!!
Zeros for the rest of the week!0 -
Hi all, I was kind of out of it all weekend. Not much alcohol but a lot of sleeping. I am starting to feel a bit better. Still need to go see the doc because my hip is getting worse. We are having lasagna tonight so I am sure there will be red wine. Have a good day all.
Kate I am so envious of your life in Hawaii. *sigh*0
