    I will definitely try and cut back, however my birthday is August 13th and I will be traveling south to spend it with my sisters. Which I'm sure will mean some decent partying. But all of the days around I will try my best to be with ya!

    But.... beer. It's so good. I'll definitely be drinking it less now that I'm dieting, that's for sure.

    Sorry, I can't go without drinking in the summer time - camp fires, ball games. Maybe in the winter. Well, except Thanksgiving-New Years. Gotta drink to get through the family stuff. So, maybe in January I can go a month without drinking.

    I'm all over "runnermel's" idea....I'm totally in with limiting consumption because I know I would fail eliminating alcohol altogether (at least I can admit that!) plus I know just limiting myself would make me lose some weight cuz I like all the high-carb crap!

    I am not a big drinker to begin with but used to like to have a glass of wine with a meal or maybe some fruity drinks on the weekend. Since starting back here 8 days ago, I have on had one alcoholic drink and it was on my cheat day. I allow 1 cheat day a week and have been very successful that way previously in my weight loss journey. So I am willing to give up alcohol all but one day a week. I used to drink one a day! But like I am allowed some foods I can't have other days on my cheat day, I would like to be able to have a drink or two that cheat day. :)

    By the way...way to go for doing this. You are right about the extra calories from drinks. I hope this helps you reach your goal! :)

    I'm in, too! (Except for August 18 and August 26 - weddings.)
    Alcohol is not good for me... makes me binge and makes me depressed.
