alcohol and appetite

When I have consume something alcoholic...I find it revs up my appetite and I want to eat (even if I wasn't hungry minutes before consuming it).

My boyfriend, however, is the exact opposite. When he has a drink, he has no interest in food - he'll not even miss that he didn't eat dinner that night.

I guess I'm curious what 'camp' do you fall into?

    I'd be like your boyfriend..If I'm drinking I don't want to eat..it was one of the things that saved me from putting on even more weight in college as I'd never get fast food or eat after a night out.

    I'm an eater, so once the food appears I lose interest in the drink. And when the food's gone I'm interested in drinking again!

    When i drink alochol i want to eat. When my x husband drank he had no need for food. He is an alcholic abd than cpuld not stop. He has been sibwr for many years,now. Good for him. I drink very littke and have cysts on my pancreas. They are benign at this point but i will be followwd up in 6 months. The surgeon oncologist told me not to drink because cysts on the pamcreas are made worse by alochil. Believe me i am kistening but when i am told not to do somerhing i wajt it all the more.

    I used to have a really hard time with this. I would go out drinking and I would want to eat junk food late at night SO MUCH. It ruined all my progress. Well, that and drinking way too much. Now I'm way too busy trying to fit alcohol into my daily calories that I don't even consider the late night munchies!! No way for me to do both.
