    I used to drink a lot of wine. I probably drank a bottle a week. It never affected my weight, just my sanity. I was extremely ill a few years ago and since then have no desire for wine. I drink champagne on on holidays when I am socializing. Very rarely. If I go to dinner, which was once in 5 months, I like a dirty martini. Over Xmas I bought a bottle of Baileys for friends, We had champagne and never got to the Baileys. I drank the entire bottle. So, I rarely drink like I use to. The drinking totally affects my weight. I can pass up food, not alcohol.

    Another tip is to pre-log and stick to what you logged. I also don't recommend weighing the very next day.

    i just turned 21 (dec 5) And I work at a bar, so drinking has been factoring into my calories recently. But I really only do straight shots of peach ciroc or whipped cream vodka. I avoid the mixed drinks/rum they seem like they have more calories, but I'm a dancer so when I'm at work I am active and moving pretty much the whole time so I don't worry about 3-5 shots.

    I drank regularly about 11 years ago, then just stopped. I'm just now starting to enjoy it every now and again. When I do, I don't worry about the calories.

    Yes, I do enjoy some wine or champagne or a good margarita on occasion. I log it. I was able to stay within my calories at first, but I noticed having that glass of wine makes me want to munch a bit, so I will probably knock that off after 12/31 and save it for social occasions.

    BTW, I tried the Skinny Girl Margaritas with a couple girlfriends recently... was extremely disappointed, we were adding Splenda to make them palatable and din't even get a buzz! (2 bottles between 3 chicks, shoulda felt goooood!!) I will go for the real thing next time, screw the skinny girls!! :drinker:

    I do not. Not for weight loss reasons, but I just hate the taste, smell, feeling, etc. - everything about it! It's surprisingly hard to find people that are like me and don't drink. And when I say I don't drink, that doesn't mean that I drink occasionally, I really do mean that I do not drink. At all.

    Yes I still drink, I enjoy an occasional glass of wine toward the end of the week or a cosmopolitan that I make diet friendly.

    I went on a diet, swore off drinking and heavy eating, and in 14 days I had lost exactly two weeks.

    Hahaha

    I drink merlot or cabernet, a small glass or two most nights. I always allow room for it in my daily cals since wine is just a fact of life. Every so often when really trying to break a plateau I'll drink mineral water with a splash of juice instead, it tastes great. Hard to hold onto an ice-cold glass in the winter time, though. Always an excuse, lol.
