On top of my introductory post, my husband is a homebrewer on a somewhat-larger scale with two of our friends. What this means:
• We have a homemade keezer that holds four pony kegs of his homebrew. On tap most all of the time is an amber, IPA, stout, and a seasonal beer.
• Husband and I enjoy realllly good beer so we also have a beer cellar. Filled it with lots of his homebrews, unique and rare bombers from all over the country. Including many ports that are aging...
• I've had a love affair with wine for about a decade now. Aside from regular liquor store pick ups, i often order from WTSO.com (if you like expensive wine for 30-70% off, do not visit this website as you may max out the credit cards). Also, I do freelance work for some people... my most recent payment was 12 bottles of wine for about an hour of work.
My name is M and I'm a highly-functional-and-FIT-but-not-really-alcoholic
Welcome and love the home brewery - how cool!0 -

Kim, You make my lush heart proud.I was escorted out by security at the casino/nightclub last night for intoxication. I tried to explain, the new boots were too narrow and my ankle was giving out on the right side and that's why I kept falling down. It was horrible. I, however, had a lot of fun dancing!!
so how are your ankles this morning?

Sun - 4 oz. Vodka & a white wine.0

The ankle is fine, it is the left knee that I landed on several times that is black and blue.
I had to sit with the security guy until the rest of my party was gathered. (which really wasn't a punishment, if you know what I mean :bigsmile: :bigsmile:) Then, he said that I really didn't seem "that bad". I told him, it was Victoria Secret's fault and I hadn't worn the boots before.
But, I guess they had surveillence on me. I hope they don't have face recognition software.
Oh, did I mention that my girlfriend spilt her drink on my head. :ohwell:0 -

Monday, 2 pinot grigio
Tuesday, 2 glasses of wine
The rest of the week will be zeros, lots and lots of zeros
I am missing my first pole dancing class this evening to celebrate my son't birthday (21) & because I can't move my damn leg. I was so looking forward to it. I've gained 5 lbs. as of this morning. 2 lbs. in my injured leg alone. It felt good to sleep in my own bed.
I have to try a fruit and veggie detox today. Any suggestions? Especially, if I go out to eat?0 -
Oh Kim! Too funny!!! How are you feeling...cold-wise??
:
Just some fluid that remains in the ear...I've been on decongestant around the clock...I checked and it doesn't have any liver warnings :drinker: Or, I would be one-yellow-girl.
Chole, Your night sounds fun, it will be a nice send off to Mexico
Everyone seems to have some moderation...good job0 -
Ok so my weekend wasn't quiet as dry as I planned. I ended up getting swasted on saturday and I know I'm drinking tonight but other than that I've been good I swear lol0
-
Hello Lushes!! I always forget to check when a new month has started! So, I'm a little behind!
I have had ALL 0's since last Friday! I can't believe it. Probably will have some drinks tomorrow night or Thursday with the hubby since that is his weekend, but who knows. Haven't really been wanting anything lately. That can always change!0 -
that's awesome about the pole dancing. I did that at my bachelorette and it is a tough workout. Much harder than it looks. Would be even harder if you had to look sexy all the time.Monday, 2 pinot grigio
Tuesday, 2 glasses of wine
The rest of the week will be zeros, lots and lots of zeros

And wow on having a 21 year old!!0 -
Last night, big glass of wine. Maybe nothing tonight. I don't know...0

Monday - 0
It'll be a 0 for tonight too and unless special occasions come up I'm going to shoot for only 2 drinking days a week at least until I lose what weight I'd like to. I definitely lose better when I don't drink during the week and last weeks experiment proved it. Despite being within calories and burning over 4200 calories for the week, I didn't lose any weight. Going to get my fat burner back up and hold off the booze until Fridays and Saturdays. This will be a test for myself when we receive our cases of wine either this week or next. Fiancé even ordered me 6 bottles of prosecco because he knows how much I love it 0 -
A big fat 0 for me last night!
Hope everyone has a great week. :drinker:0 -
Sunday, Monday=0
Tuesday...I might open a bottle of moscato that's just hanging out, but we'll see.0 -
Amy, as the day goes on I am really feeling a glass of wine....might be joining you tonight!0

All this talk about wine makes my mouth water. Work has been crazy busy yesterday and today! Wine sounds like it would be the perfect stress-relief! Hopefully tomorrow night I'll get some 0

Wine was a go...1 glass down, contemplating a second.0
