    Not alone, sister!!! :) I can take about 3 sips of wine, and I feel a relaxing feeling in my legs, my face gets hot, and I get a heat rash on my chest. Yeah, I can't hide drinking :) LOL



    Sounds like me!

    Nope. But thats probably because i've still been drinking frequently throughout my diet haha. What can I say, i'm young! Hardcore boozing is a must.

    Bahahahaha! I am all too familiar with that "hot" feeling!!

    OMG I SWEAT!!! Like, "dont even bother doing your hair because it's going to look like you ran 15 minutes on the elliptical when you're at the bar" kind of sweat! LOL!!!

    Ahhhhhhahahaha! Seriously, I'm that girl too!! When I'm out at the bar, people don't talk to me because I'm cute, they talk to me because they want to know who I just fought with in the parking lot!!

    Yes to the lowered tolerance! I was a good drinker, I could hold my own...as long as I wasn't mixing. At my Christmas party I was getting all "oops, just knocked a cup over" clumsy after one martini. It was embarrassing! I get the warm "I just drank tequila" ears after one margarita instead of two nowadays.

    I haven't been to Vegas since losing the weight, so it should be interesting to see if I can hang anymore, especially since my go-to Vegas drink is vodka Redbull!

    I've always been like that. One drink and I'm crawling under the table with them. Wait, what?

    I only let myself drink on weekends during this diet journey because of all the calories in the drinks, but it certainly does take less.

    What I hate though - the Monday/Tuesday bloat water weight gain from the alcohol. It takes me till almost Wednesday to get rid of it all. :frown:

    I guess I'm the minority. Because of all the water I drink during the day, I can still handle my liquor all the same. :blushing:

    I used to be able to drink a whole bottle of wine, and now I'm pretty buzzed after only a glass.

    Part of that is not only from weight loss but also because I used to drink wine at least 4 nights a week, and now I only drink it on special occasions.. i.e less than once a month.

    Oh god, I never even thought about that.
    I'm not ready to drink for quite sometime, but at least I know what to expect!

    Just warning you. if your a vodka drinker it can slow your metabolism by up to like 60%.

    Not sure if you knew that or not.

    I almost didn't have a good time at the bar last Saturday.....

    it was my first time going drinking in a WHILE (maybe 4 months), and all day, I was thirsty, so I had drank my water, like a good girl. By the time I got to the bar, I had about 10 glasses of water down.

    First drink in: I had to pee. And pee I did.

    I was going to the bathroom about once an hour. I broke the seal too early!!!! GAH!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    To make matters worse.... the bar had only a one-seater :( And no toilet paper. Thank God for paper towels....

    Am I the only one who notices it depends on what I do that day?

    Regardless of what I eat, if it's a long run day for me one martini and I'm down for the count. Lifting or rest days, not so much.

    Which means drinking vodka makes it harder to burn calories. it also means when you eat your food wont digest the same and you could actually gain weight while drinking. becuase its like your not working out at all.

    Yeah, I can no longer live up to the lush I used to be. One or two drinks and I'm stupid.

    It took me a couple times to realize that I just can't handle the volume I used to.
