    apparently tequila helps you lose weight.

    Not true but I do lose my clothes a lot when I drink it! I have cut way back on my wine and beer but I have not given it up! I just count them as calories and yes they are empty and so is my head! Who cares!

    Cheers!

    That's total BS... My wife gained about 30 pounds the last time I had Tequila...

    Took her 9 months to "lose it", too...

    I still find room for beer and wine, but one thing I used to drink all the time that I've mostly given up are margaritas! I love a good margarita but at about 300-400 cals per serving plus the salt rim it's usually not in my calorie budget

    I don't really crave alcohol, but I do crave white, refined things: bread, pasta, John Slattery...

    I love beer too! and WINE!

    I will still have a drink whenever I want, if its a rough week after work, I will have a glass of wine or 2 with dinner 1 night or 4 nights. Its all about finding the balance that works best for you. If you want to have some drinks, go for it, but understand how it will impact your calorie count for the day and how it changes your eating habits then/the following day.

    I know that if I have 3 or 4 drinks, I will be ravenously hungry the next day, so I have to keep that in mind and react appropriately. Also, if I plan on having drinks I make sure I get in a good workout.

    I still drink beer.

    I don't think I could go without Stella or Peroni.

    Just keep on drinking, as long as you be honest about how much and log it into your diary.
    Do some xtra walking (to the Pub) to earn it.

    I bought some Budweiser 55 cal beer trying to save calories. Um no, just no.

    I've decided to save cal. and enjoy the good stuff now and again.

    That 55 s#!^ might be the nastiest I've ever tasted.

    Go for a drink that has less calories and less sugar. I love my wine (specifically, Kendall Jackson) but, when I go out (which is not all that often) I usually stick to beer so that I don't get too sloshed. Weird as it is, my favorite is Rolling Rock. I almost never order liquor. But, recently I switched it up to vodka soda, sometimes with a splash of OJ or sometimes just lime. It took me a bit to get used to it, but now I love it and I feel way less guilty about enjoying a few drinks. I've read that adding some Mio liquid water enhancer is good for adding some extra flavor, but one of the ingredients is sucralose (same as splenda), so advise against using Mio or any type of artificial sweetener.
