drinking questions

Man I drink light and HEAVY. I am going to slow down, but I will make sure I watch what I drink NO MORE FOUR LOKOS!! Those things are 660 calories a piece!! I had 1 1/2 yesterday and I'm only allowed 1200 :-( A completely failed day lol. I'm paying for it. I should've stayed with my whiskey straight. I log everything.

I drink rarely as I take four prescription drugs. When I drink, I log.

My husband has diabetes. His dietician says that alcohol metabalizes like fat not like carbs. I always wondered what that means. Are there any nutritionists or dieticians who can explain how the body metabalizes alcohol. I know it can impact the liver pretty intensely when consumed in high volume over short periods of time.

Whatever I eat/ate or drink/drank ... EVERYTHING gets logged as accurately as I can (remember: if I don't for whatever reason write it down asap).
At the end of the day... it's only your own honesty with yourself that counts. I can't deny it or cover it up by not having to see it in my food log the next day. How else will I know which changes (emotional and physical) are affecting my attitude, success and figure if I don't log every single little thing??? Awww... dang! I just remembered I forgot to log in a cookie yesterday!!!

Low calorie drinks:
vodka + club soda
rum + diet coke
gin + diet tonic

Basically get an ounce of alcohol with a calorie free mixer... and it will cost you around 60 calories a drink. Avoid anything too fancy (pina colada, margaritas, etc)...those are always really high cal.

i love to have a drink & when I drink, I drink alot. (us aussies LOVE a good drinking session)

I have cut my drinking down to monthly/bi-monthly (unless i have an occassion). As i was finding my weight was remaining the same.

i was a beer drinker (190cals) ,however i have changed to Vodka & soda water, with fresh lime/lemon (60cals).

i log what i remember.
But when i know im heading out drinking for the night, IPLAN!!!
I try to choose lower calorie, breakfasts, lunch &s snacks for that day.

I log it. I don't drink nearly as much as I used to and I am sure to log it when I do. It keeps me accountable and tends to make me not drink very much. I am no longer a chugger, but a sipper and I go for the ultra light stuff instead of the dark stuff these days for the minimal calories.
