Alcohol was a question, some might not be perfect princess paleo 99% you. The way you type comes off *kitten* *kitten* sometimes.
Geez, guys.....this is a SUPPORT group. Coming to this thread, not knowing anyone, and having no preconceived ideas, ya'll are being way too hard on this girl. She just shared her opinions about alcohol vs paleo and never claimed to be "perfect princess paleo"....she even admitted to drinking wine occasionally. Give the girl a break.0 -

I had to create a new account because of judgement and ridicule in other mainstream forums, and If this is what this forum is shaping into, sayonara!! When I was in this forum before, I appreciated the help and honesty from many of you, otherwise i wouldn't have asked! *Sigh*0 -
I drink on weekends, it keeps me sane.
Vodka and Diet Sunkist Lemonade = 0 carbs. Although wine is pretty low cal also. Could you be eating more than you think once you drink?
Need alcohol to "keep sane"? And with artificial sweeteners. Hmmm.....
I get it because I've been there, done that when I was young and unhealthy, mentally and physically... but it doesn't fit as part of a healthy Primal/Paleo lifestyle.
Ever tried vodka and club soda with a piece of lemon/lime or dash of fruit juice? I can't even get club soda where I live so it's just water and lemon or lime wedge.
Why does this come across judgy? If you eat Paleo 100% great for you but just because someone has artificial sweetener or alcohol does not make them unhealthy mentally or physically.
It comes across as judgy, because it is. Someone has a big chip on their shoulder and a condescending attitude.
Wow, thanks. I say it as I see it. I don't walk on eggshells. Did you read the part where I admit to "been there, done that" in reference to an unhealthy relationship with alcohol? As it turns out the person was joking, but I've never seen them in this forum before (I've been here about 20 months...) so I took it literally. My bad.
Everyone will make their own choices, and that's great. However, I will continue to point out things that aren't Primal/Paleo in the Paleo forum. It's my opinion, and honestly, it's pretty confusing for newcomers when they hearsomething isn't healthy and isn't Paleo but then see a lot of us eating it anyway, and justifying it.
(Is this not the Paleo forum anymore? Because my Paleo views are sure ruffling feathers alot suddenly! I'm opinionated and passionate about this lifestyle and nothing I say is PERSONAL. Disagreeing, advising, challenging, questioning etc does not constitute a personal attack.)

Did you miss reading the post where I apologize to you?
Who said I was perfect? This is a PALEO forum and I often have strong PALEO views. That's why I am in the PALEO forum because I expect to be able to share my views and not walk on eggshells when I talk about the PALEO lifestyle. I am honest and I am blunt and I say it how I see it without resorting to calling people *kitten*, paleo princesses, or the like. Just because one does not agree with my views does not justify personal attacks and name-calling. Perhaps you are used to acting like that in the General forum?0 -

Yeah, the Paleo forum is the one place that I can usually talk openly about Paleo lifestyle. I am ALWAYS going to point out non Paleo info not to be "mean" but because it isn't inline with Paleo guidelines. It's not personal attack, it's clarification. Not everyone has been doing this for a long time and one of the complaints about Paleo is all the conflicting info! I never expect everyone to love me or agree with me; but stooping to personal attack and name calling because someone doesn't like what I have to say? I've never encountered that here until recently… I've been here 20 months and I'm not going away.0 -
I came in here to comment about Alcohol.... I was called out as "young and unhealthy, mentally and physically" by Akimajuktuq.
Sorry folks, that is not how you guide newbies.
I'll PM you Akimajuktuq, this thread should get back on topic.0 -
Back to the main question, I do drink from time to time. I prefer wine. I drink white as red gives me a headache. My husband is in a band so I frequent establishments that don't serve wine, I go with vodka, club soda and lime (this take a little getting used to.) I steer clear of artificial sugars as it increases my appetite. If I had to choose between artificial sugars and regular pop, I would go with pop personally.0
