Alcohol and food consumption...

When I consume alcohol, I tend to get hungry and want to eat...and eat! :#

However, my boyfriend is the complete opposite. When he consumes alcohol, he can just keep drinking and not eat at all.

Even if we prepare dinner and we have a few before the meal, I'll be 'so' ready to eat it all up and he usually could care less about having any of it.

Curious - what about you?

    When I'm drinking, I don't particularly care about food. Unlike my dad, I can/will eat while drinking, but I don't feel any particular need to and can be quite happy on beer alone. Some of the beers I prefer can practically be chewed anyway. :smiley:

    I made the decision to give up drinking calories while I am losing weight but mentally I connect alcohol and food and throw mindful eating out the door.

    Pretty much the way I roll.
