    Seriously, I know that a glass of red wine is good for you, but when it comes to 3 to 4 glasses -- that's another story. I think I'm going back to my vodka with a splash of pineapple juice. Not that it's healthier, just fewer calories--I think.

    So this is where you all are... luv this thread! I typically vacillate between red wine and vodka also. There are some great calorie-conscious suggestions here for indulging my inner-lush :wink: Only been at this mfp thing for a couple of months and still trying to balance alcohol into the equation. I sure exercise more now to "earn" those drinks lol!

    Hello...I just found this thread and think m prayers have been answered! Those damn drinks on the weekends are killing me! Not willing to give them up though. My best friend was in town all weekend, went to a wine festival on Saturday. Probably had in the area of 15 drinks in 2 days. Looking to cut back, but not cut drinks out.
    Nice to meet you all!

    SoCal, where have you been...
    Hi Kim!! I've been around sparingly. Busy summer+ a nasty hamstring pull had me sidelined for a bit. :flowerforyou:

    Labor Day weekend:
    Friday= 3 Coors lights
    Saturday=
    Sunday= lost track, had a few beers, a cider, a vodka pom drink, then maybe three coors lights at home.
    Monday=1 marg

    Today is a Rockies game, I am thinking of sticking to 2 beers unless I can get a workout squeezed in.

    I hope everyone enjoyed their weekends.....sounded like you did :)

    Friday-1 smurfetter, 1 weyerbacher imperial pumpkin, 5 martinis and 1 glass of wine (SHOCKED I was still standing)
    Saturday-Several 2oz sample of weyerbacher beers, 2 1/2 beers, 1 margarita and one shot
    Sunday-6 martinis and 2 beers
    Monday-2 1/2 beers and a glass of wine

    I know it seems like a lot and well it is a lot but all my drinks were spreadout through the day, so I was suprisingly coherent by the end of the night...well except for sunday...that day was pretty ridiculous :wink:

    So, I have checked in recently but not done an actual drink count ---
    Monday -1
    Tues -2
    Wed -2
    Thur - 2
    Fri -5
    Sat - 2
    Sun - 0
    Mon (last night) 2
    So I have been great about at least one '0' day and keeping it at 2 and under...Friday was fun night with the other teachers, so it counts as a special occasion:)
    I am going to aim for more '0' or '1' nights this week (as I pour my 1 glass of Vihno Verde for the night.) Wish me luck! The students do drive me batty!!

    The plan is no drinks until the wedding (or maybe I will have some wine at the rehearsal) So I have about 10 days....I can do it! Yesterday was my first day with zero drinks and I survived :tongue:
