    I recently gave up alcohol for a month for kicks. It was boring, and I didn't lose any weight.

    The key to anything is moderation. That said, Scotch and ice.:drinker:

    Like many other people I drink the vodka water with a lime :) as well as, straight rum on the rocks! not spiced rums.

    Gin with diet tonic and lime :drinker:

    I bought some diet tonic, but have been too chicken to try it. Does it taste close to regular tonic?
    i think its just the exact same,but you might find it slightly different but after a few you wont care :drinker:

    Same here, so I started drinking again... in moderation. :wink:

    I'm with you guys. I enjoy a little in moderation (love my Irish Whiskey...on the rocks!), but I've given it up for the most part. Its not so much the calories. I'm pretty much a one drink lady. But, when I drink...I break out the pizza. And the chips. And the candy. So...its best if I stay away when I'm trying to lose.

    I've given up for 2011... not bad for a girl who is somewhat renowned for her capacity to drink grown men under the table. I used to give up for January (just to prove I could!) but it was all too easy to give in after a couple of weeks (ie, I couldn't!). I spent a month getting my head around the idea, then just went for it. I struggle to be moderate, especially in times of stress, and I know the 30 pound cushion on the front of my belly is a living, wobbling tribute to New Zealand sauvignon blanc...
    I thought it would be really difficult and I'd be feeling deprived and angry, but I'm feeling relieved and proud of myself instead.
    Long may it continue...

    I'm giving up for January. So far, so good! And even then, I'm going to try and keep it to a minimum. Thankfully, my tipple is Jack Daniel's, not beer, so it's not too high calorie!
