    :laugh: I just had a guy come into the bar and tell me to make him a drink. He said he was a gin and tonic kinda guy but wanted something different so I started making a Kamikaze but thought it need something more so I made it a Cosmo. I hoped he wouldn't ask what it was but he did and his girlfriend laughed her *kitten* off... It was kinda funny. I told him I didn't put it in a martini glass just for that reason :laugh: :drinker:

    Thirsty Thursday but instead of alcohol, I'll be downing 2 gallons of water and doing a mini detox after the last 2 weeks of indulgences :smile:

    Still 0s for this week. This weekend may be the same as we're broke and I've been sick. ;D

    I am very happy to have found this thread. I am a drinker. I have lost 65 lbs since January 1, 2011. Initially, I stopped drinking completely and stayed home for four months to lose the first forty pounds. After that, I allowed myself one night a week for a month. Now I am pretty much doing what I want, but mostly monitoring my calories and using exercise calories for alcohol. My favorite drink is sugar free red bull and Patron. I also do diet coke and Jack or Jamison. I used to do margaritas quite a bit but sacrificed them for the calories.

    I have 25 more pounds to goal. I've decided I'd rather do it a little slower with MORE exercise and still have my weekends and my Patron.

    Hey, all! I am new to this thread, but think I fit in just fine here:) I try to aim for at least one if not 2 days with no alcohol at all, and on the remainders under two, three if the occasion/meal calls for it, and only more than that unless it is a party. I have also started to actually use a measuring cup for my wine, too!
    I exercise at least 4 days a week, and try to do cardio every day and add in two days a week of yoga/pilates at home. I love to cook, also, and am always trying new recipes...and enjoy all kinds of outdoor stuff like hiking and kayaking.

    So here goes for me:
    Monday = 1 Beer, 1 glass of wine
    Tuesday = 1 beer, 2 glasses of wine
    Wednesday = 6 oz Sauvignon Blanc
    Thurs = Not sure....maybe a glass of red....
    Fri & Sat: well, we are throwing a party for about 65 people, and there are a keg of Blue Moon, a pony keg of Coors, and 4 cases of wine on the line up. I am going to throw a guess at 2 glasses of wine Friday night, and a metric *kitten* ton (that is a new unit of measurement!) of Blue Moon Saturday. Thinking Sunday will be dry day.

    So far so good, was going to try to be zeros all week, but tomorrow I made an appointment to put my dog, Jewel down. She has bladder cancer and a large growth on her liver and she is having more bad days than good. This is the hardest thing I have ever had to do :cry: I know it's the right thing to do but I hate it.

    I am so sorry to hear the news. It is a hard thing to do. I have been there. Give yourself a break and if you need a few drinks to get thru the pain go for it. We are all here for you.

    Oh no! I'm so sorry. It's one of the hardest things to do..also one of the most unselfish, once they start having more bad days than good. hang in there. :frown: :flowerforyou:

    Hi all! I haven't read through the entire thread, but it seems to be right up my ally. I've been good most of the last week, except for last night -- went out and had a LOT to drink. (Somewhere around 8 drinks, don't quite remember everything though :embarassed: )

    Would love to keep up with you all and this thread! Good luck all! :drinker:

    This is my kind of thread!!! I thought I was the only one!! I'M A LUSH!! BUT.....I haven't had a drop of alcohol since July 4th! I even went to bars 3 times and enjoyed cranberry juice with 7-up!! I was told to have NO alcohol for 3 weeks - I am shortening it to 2 weeks and getting my blood tests done in the morning......apparently my liver enzymes are high. :| Not sure what that means, but I am hoping that whatever it is turns out to be the reason for my inability to lose weight despite working out 4 to 6 days a week and eating 90% healthy!! :) Something is up!!
    Riunite Lambrusco is my biggest weakness - not far behind that is Ace pear cider!! YUM!!! I ave a jug of lambrusco in the fridge now!! Right after work tomorrow I am having about 5 glasses of it!!! LOL I can already taste it!!
    Anyways......great to meet all of you! I plan on following this thread! I'd like to keep my drinking to weekends only unless it is a special occassion! Maybe this will help me.

    Like so many others I am so happy I found this discussion. I don't generally drink much during the week and since I am in graduate school and have very little money the weekends have been a bit too alcohol free but that will be changing soon. I have a neighborhood block party sort of thing coming up on this sunday and the following weekend is Cleveland's Irish Cultural Festival, so not only is there ALOT of alcohol but there is a ton of food too. I am already trying to plan how I am going to work that weekend.:happy:

    =( So sorry for your girl. It's so hard losing a furry one, they become more than just a pet instantly. Hang in there. I know my 5 are my world. A friend just had one of her pups escape from their back yard, which I guess he and his sister do all the time and come back but he still hasn't come back :frown: Breaks my heart. If I lived in GA I'd go out everyday to help find him.
