    Usually a sign of alcoholism more than dieting.

    I would agree with this.

    It's time reevaluate things when your sole purpose for drinking is to get drunk.

    But hey, that's just my opinion.

    I agree with this!

    I've been dieting for 7 months straight now with daily calories between 1000-1550 per day and the occasional 2000 calorie day. I've cut way back on my drinking because of the calories. But the few times I've drank heavily, Super Bowl Sunday and last night in particular, I allocated for the calories but couldn't even catch a buzz. At Super Bowl I was drinking vodka and Crystal Light, last night I drank an entire bottle of red wine. There have been at least a half dozen other times since the diet that I've felt like it was a total waste of time and calories. Any thoughts? Any medical reasons why dieting deters drunkeness?

    That bolded part is maybe the most concerning post I have read recently.

    You're not buzzed off of a bottle of red wine. Are you Irish?

    Kinda what I was thinking.

    Usually, when folks lose weight they find that it actually takes LESS alcohol to get buzzed.

    Yeah this is me. BUT my mind still thinks I can drink the same amount. This has led to both interesting evenings and turrible mornings.

    I enjoy a few cocktails. Not going to lie. But nothing it's ever an issue fitting in my diary.

    I'd be fearful if it was.

    hmm. People say that on here all the time about the things they eat and drink. I've seen many folks say what they ate/drank was a waste of calories. I've seen it recently for store-bought cake, for a restaurant appetizer, for a slice of someone else's entree... is it the "time" part that makes it more concerning? Or simply because it involves alcohol. Perhaps it's an issue. Perhaps it's just an indication of a shift in priorities. I dunno. I'm not a doctor, or a specialist in alcohol or alcohol issues.

    Can't say I would equate one with the other. Maybe, you just have a high tolerance. Drink Crown and diet coke. Works for me.

    Nice to see someone had to make into it a racist stereotype. Go find your sense of humor. I'm not kidding. :drinker:
