    I find it much easier to cut out alcohol completely, than to just have 1 - 2 glasses of wine. its a slippery slope, and I feel that if i cannot drink moderately I should not drink at all....

    Completely agree. Once you reach the end of the second glass it's so easy to say "go on, I'll have another one" and before you know it you're drunk, way over your calorie goal, and eating greasy food the next day. Though I'm not saying going cold turkey is easy either... I guess it's all about finding the right balance, and I have yet to find it.

    Nothing wrong with alcohol - if you give it up for like 5 months like I did then one night I had vodka and the following day I weight myself and I lost 5lbs!! Now I drink once or twice a week, normally red wine, a beer or 2 or some vodka. Enjoy life!

    Im in the same boat...Im trying to cut down to lose weight, and also because of medication that Im on. I honestly used to drink atleast 2 days a wk....atleast 3-4 drinks. Now, I cut down to one day...and try to drink light beer. Regular beer was killin me!! I would end up drinking 1000 cals easy in beer.
