    I will have one glass of wine or one beer about every two weeks. I dont really count calories but I dont like drinking the day before I workout. So I drink the night before a rest day.

    I always anticipate how much I'm gonna be drinking. So on weekends I'll make sure to get plenty of cardio in and take it easy on the carbs as I know I'll be getting a *kitten* ton in that night. I log the amount of drinks my limit will add and try to avoid food all together when I'm drunk because I know I'll keep eating if I don't. When I'm done for the night I take 2x the amount of Magnessium, zinc, and niacin then slam ALOT of water, I'm saying maybe a half gallon or more depending on how much I've been boozing. I don't get hang overs but if I don't drink water before I got to bed I'll feel weak and frail the next day from extreme dehydration.

    Drinking it . . . regularly. And measuring and logging it.(And losing weight.)

    But, seriously, three glasses of wine for 300 calories? Not unless you're drinking out of a kids cup. When I drink wine, I pull out the measuring cup. 6 oz of wine is not a lot.

    I used to drink wine most days and it definitely got in the way of weight loss. I gave it up about three weeks ago and feel great. I said I was giving it up for Lent, but I'm going to continue after Easter. I put about 2oz of Pom in a water goblet then fill it up with sparkling water. It's delicious.

    I have a drink nearly every day and count it like anything else.
    You are welcome to look at my diary or add me.

    eta - Agreed, measure it. Get a jigger or use a liquids measuring cup. :drinker:
