Drunk snacking?

I don't seem to get very hungry after drinking. Then again, I drink probably twice a month... do you go out to dinner before you drink? Maybe that would help you avoid the munchies?

I like to drink sometimes too. It sucks that people who haven't lost much weight talk about people's judgement and will power when clearly everyone here has had a little or big issue with food consumption. On a *lighter* note, making sure you work out during the day for an hour generally gives you a pretty decent buffer. On some elliptical stout can burn up to 800 cals in an hour. If you eat your first meal around noon then second around 6pm and something small before you go out you'll be at around 650 cals for the day. By drink 4 glasses of wine or vodka diet (200 cals each) you can use up about 800-1k cals which is just what you worked off. Plus from not eating so much that day you don't need to drink as much and wine has a higher alcohol content. Once you get home have an English muffin with peanut butter and spray butter. Comes to about 300 cals which should keep you pretty good for the calorie counting. Good luck with the hangover... That's when my diet gets thrown for a loop. I definitely try to dance more, drink more water, listen to my body, and not consistently have a drink in hand. I don't prelog my drinks but as I go through the night I know how many calories are in each drink. I go for the bread to soak up the booze to avoid the hang over and the peanut butter coats your stomach. Good luck and add me if you like. I work really hard on the days I'm not drinking so I don't feel as guilty.

While I can't quite relate to wanting certain "greasy" foods, most of my drunk and hungry cravings are tai food or sweets.

If I am craving tai food I have a microwaveable tai dinner package I keep in my dorm room. The package is taped shut by me, so that I have to be starving and determined to get it open. It's relatively low cal and I only do this maybe once a month.

Otherwise I have my pre blended hangover cure that acts as my "sweets". It's coconut water, banana and either berries or a bit of cocoa powder. heavy on the coconut water, lower on the sugars. It's usually what I am craving and luckily exactly what my body needs.

I'm not much of a drinker anymore like I was in my 20s, but still get invited to occasional parties and social events. Alternating diet soda or water with the alcoholic beverages helps. Usually I try to have a decent sized meal and opt for that instead of snacking, but popcorn would be my go-to plan.
