New to this thread, but I now see I'm not the only MFP poster with and ARI (alcohol-related issue)
Beer is like water to me! No, really...it is about the only water I drink, except maybe for Diet Dr. Pepper. I can put away 2 liters of it a day (Diet Dr. Pepper, not beer.....well, on second thought...) But, at least my go-to beer is Mic Ultra and the Dr. Pepper is diet. 0 -
Chloe, How exciting! I love weddings... I hope your day is everything you wish for!
Kim, I love a good drunkin' slumber. I swear its the best sleep I ever get!
ER, I'd have to agree drinking Michelob Ultra is very simular to drinking water. Doesn't taste too bad but very very light. I just recently discovered I like Dead Guy but that is sooo not good for losing weight:grumble:0 -
Good luck all on Kim's comp!!! I'll be following along for spirit and fun. :drinker:0

Since this is a "no judging" board, one of my favorite meals is Okami sushi and a bottle of Moscato wine from Albertsons! I know, I know, I am a cheap date!! If you purchase six or more bottles of wine at Albertsons you get an additional 10% off too. You wouldn't believe how many of those free wine six pack totes I have because I always forget to take one with me!0

Well...had a few cocktails tonight...still worked them into my calories for today!
CHEERS! :drinker: 0 -
Dot, I loved all of it. My boyfriend and I got a kick out of how many "girls direct to your door in 20 minutes" guys there were haha. My favorite was seeing the Shark Reef at Mandalay, I so want to dive with great whites. I also loved the lion habitat at our hotel and the wax museum was interesting except we took a wrong turn and missed the horror side of it =\ next time! I love heat so it being in the 100's all week and not humid like home made me one happy camper. I loved their idea of partly cloudy (one cloud in the sky haha) We didn't make it to the dam or canyon so that'll be in December maybe but we did make it to the Stratosphere at night which was great, going to try those rides next time and the fountains at Bellagio at night were fun. We also saw some dolphins, tigers, white lions and a black panther =] we hung out at a bar in our hotel that was a good time because every half
Hour the bar tenders got up on the bar and danced. Hung out at the pool a couple days, got a cabana, went down the lazy river, had some beers and had some great food. I never thought I'd say it but it was more fun than all our cruises and I love cruising! All in all, a damn good time and can't wait to be back there
On another note, football started tonight and it's my team at home =] Go Pack Go! Football season means more beer which means hunkering down on food portions to make up for it. I'd like to shed some lbs so I'm back at counting for a bit but don't at all regret any of the food (mainly delicious New York style pizza) that I had in Vegas. Never thought I'd say this either but it was better than Papa Ginos and that's my favorite pie!0 -
Forgot to mention, I love Sam Adams Pumpkin beer, tastes like pumpkin pie which I love, but the only pumpkin that was out the other night was Shock Top Pumpkin Wheat and it's pretty tasty as well. Gosh I love Fall! Warm days, cool nights, beautiful leaves, delicious food and of course Halloween!!! Can't wait for our party :devil:0

http://www.pinnaclevodka.com/assets/pdfs/Pinnacle Calorie PDF.pdf Calorie info for the Pinnacle Vodka flavors but it needs updated with newest ones. Anyone have info for Cake & Gummy flavors?
I've been bad with Pumpkin beer the past week, glasses rimmed with cinnamon sugar too.
Last night had a bottle of Chaucer's Mead and a gummy vodka with orange juice and ginger ale.
There is one lonely Coors Light in the fridge calling my name tonight but I'm trying to ignore it.0 -

It has been much easier this time. I think because I only have a protein shake for dinner I am not tempted by cooking and wine. It is a good mindset. Kim's challenge is really keeping focused this week.0 -
Monday=2
Tuesday=0
Wednesday=0
Thursday=2 beers (the last Summer Shandy and the last Ruby Redbird :sad: )
It took me almost 2 hours to drink the first beer, though. Like Kim said...baby steps!
Thanks for the beer info, Kat!!
I have a triple baby shower tonight, so I'm sure there will be beer and wine, but with 3 preggos, it will be easy to not drink.0 -

That's a good plan so that you are not gross and bloated feeling....I'm planning an alcohol free weekend, we can do it together!!!0 -

Fortunately, none of the girls that the shower is for are into the girly, "shower-games" stuff. We'll probably hang out, order pizza, and open prezzies.0 -
Well I was one of the 6 million people who lost power yesterday. We were told maybe 36 hours with no power but we're back.
I drank my dinner. The neighbors all sat out on the culdesac while the kids all played (no school today)
I'm a little hungover this morning. Some people go into survival mode...I just drink. :ohwell:0 -
SoCal, I hear you. We missed two days of school last year because of the extreme sub-zero temps...Hubs and I drank hot cocoa, rum, and St. Brendan's all day while the kids played Wii.0

Drinking is survival mode isn't it?0 -
Last night I broke and had 2 glasses of wine (4 ounce - why bother? lol) and 1 shot of vodka.
I didn't need to drink, but it was kind of a crap day - and it's my husband's birthday weekend, and I have pms and and and and. Yep I'm ultra good at excuses!
Planning on drinking tonight, I'll finish the bottle of wine - 3 glasses and have a few shots. Burnt xtra calories this morning and I'll try to eat healthy today.......0 -
Cat...sometime a girl has to do what a girl has to do.............SoCal, same for you....
All those baby showers must rock....the ones I go to always have unspiked punch
I just realized that it's open house wine tasting at our wine club tonight
