Nice to see my fellow lushes are keeping up! :drinker:
I've actually been pretty good..zero last night..1-2 most nights this week. Been sooooo busy.
BUT..it's Friday and I'm pretty much done with all my shopping and wrapping.
I'm thinking the next week will be quite lushy since I'm off and have no alarm going off at 6am!0 -
Going to try to not drink tonight since I have my friend's Christmas party tomorrow night! Lots of drinking will be happening tomorrow night!! Today, I'm giving blood...so drinking would probably be an awful idea...but I've done it before. LOL. Oops :ohwell:0

not sure about tonight since I drank last night:
Thursday=2 beers, one amber ale and the other a honey brown. Beer tasted good. I have only had two bud lights since November 27 when I started the Jamie Eason plan, I thought I was going to give up beer, but only drink red wine and vodka. Failed on that, but does anyone have any reason why wine/vodka is better than beer. I just heard if you are going to drink you should drink clear spirits and that red wine has some health benefits, so I decided I would try and stick with those, but are they really any "better" than beer?0 -
If you have the calories to spare, I don't know why beer would be any better or worse for you.
It's just so caloric compared to many other choices.
Also has carbs. Vodka doesn't.0 -
After a night of drinking delicious beers I definitely feel bloated, where if I drink vodka I feel slim.......must be the carbs! BUT I love beer, I just try and limited it to one or days a week....yeah but that doesn't always happen:happy:0

been fairly good lately but christmas parties all weekend may not be so good...oh well guess i will just enjoy0

Haven't been bothered to count what I'm drinking lately, not loads but I've had at least 1 drink most nights this week and I'm not bothered about it, I have every intention of relaxing and enjoying the festive period and for me that includes frequent alcohol so I'm just warming up at the moment. :drinker:0

Oh and just thought I'd share this, seen it before but it still makes me laugh...
Once again this year, I've had requests for my Tequila Christmas Cake recipe so here goes: Please keep in your files as I am beginning to get tired of typing this up every year!
1 cup sugar
1 tsp. Baking powder
1 cup water
1 tsp. Salt
1 cup brown suga
r Lemon juice
4 large eggs
Nuts
1 bottle tequila
2 cups dried fruit
Sample the tequila to check quality. Take a large bowl; check the tequila again to be sure it is of the highest quality. Repeat. Turn on the electric mixer. Beat one cup of butter in a large fluffy bowl. Add 1 teaspoon of sugar. Beat again. At this point, it is best to make sure the tequila is still OK. Try another cup just in case. Turn off the mixerer thingy. Break 2 eegs and add to the bowl and chuck iin the cup of dried fruit. Pick the fruit up off the floor. Mix on the turner. If the fried druit getas stuck in the beaterers, just pry it loose with a drewscriver. Sample the tequila to test for tonsisticity. Next, sift 2 cups of salt, or something. Check the tequila. Now shift the lemon ice strain your nuts. Add one table. Add a spoon of sugar, or somefink. Whatever you can find. Greash the oven. Turn the cake tin 360 s and try not to fall over. Don't forget to beat off the turner. Finally, throw the bowl through the window. Finish the tequila and wipe the counter with the cat ! Cherry Mristmas0 -
