    Side note: As a career hospital nurse I can tell you the doctors that I worked with ALL agreed that 2 alcoholic drinks per day were defined as "maintenance drinking". As in the lowest level for the label "alcohol addiction". You may agree, or disagree, or call me or them names, but I am just telling you what my experience was for 26 years working on a medical floor with doctors in the hospital who asked their patients: "How much alcohol do you drink per day?" Then when they get the answer of at least "2 drinks per day" they know they are being lied to because as we all know, human nature is to downplay our faults and play up our achievements. It's just a basic starter question to find out why they have the medical issues that they do.

    Food for thought.


    ^^^^ this is consistent with what I was told in medical school. That being said, the DSM-IV diagnostic criteria for alcohol abuse and dependency in the US are very culturally biased. Our counterparts in Europe say otherwise about alcohol consumption.

    Skinny Margarita! Most places have it only 100 to 130 cals and yummy!

    I like The Skinny Girl Sangria better. I really love microbrew beer so I still enjoy them, but I nurse those beers as long as I can and try to limit myself to two.
