    I've been dieting for 7 months straight now with daily calories between 1000-1550 per day and the occasional 2000 calorie day. I've cut way back on my drinking because of the calories. But the few times I've drank heavily, Super Bowl Sunday and last night in particular, I allocated for the calories but couldn't even catch a buzz. At Super Bowl I was drinking vodka and Crystal Light, last night I drank an entire bottle of red wine. There have been at least a half dozen other times since the diet that I've felt like it was a total waste of time and calories. Any thoughts? Any medical reasons why dieting deters drunkeness?

    You're not buzzed off of a bottle of red wine. Are you Irish?

    "I am Irish " and after a celebration with 1 bottle of wine last night I am feeling dreadful today . I find I just can't drink volumes any more without it taking days to recover . Still love a glass of vino though!!!

    Wow...

    Glad you feel comfortable making all those conclusions based on a couple of message board posts. Especially the stuff about the DUIs...

    This!

    I can't get drunk except on hard liquor, if your intention is to get drunk you might have to switch to that. I can't drink any more, it got me into trouble plus the empty calories really put weight on me.:sad:

    Empty? They are energy! Wine has antioxidants.
    I am sure that you would see alcohol use causing you problems in your family and friend relationships, your health, your job, and perhaps even legal issues.
    No not once. Unless you consider turning down a drink causing problems with family, friends and job.

    My liver is great and my risk for diabetes has been ruled out by a Northwestern University study that said I wasn't worth tracking for the next 6 years because my blood results were too good.

    Go see your doctor and ask him why you can't get drunk. Maybe he can figure it out.

    Over 600 calories in a bottle of wine...

    Over 600 calories in a bottle of wine...

    Which is less than a Big Mac and fries. Or one Pina Colada. I allocated for the calories.

    Some people are alcoholics. I am not. However, I do have an addiction to sugar, carbs and food. Alcohol does have sugar but it doesn't trigger binges for me or negative consequences. For some bizarre reason I can stop drinking so easily when I exceed my calorie goals. However if you put a box of Little Debbie Swiss Rolls in front of me and I have one bite, I cannot stop until they are gone.

    I don't understand why so many people get up in arms about drinking and destroying your liver and a bottle of wine occasionally is going to kill me and yet when it comes to sweets, breads and carbs they say "Everything in moderation." My pet peeve is that saying. Giving up alcohol far easier for me than giving up carbs because you don't need alcohol in your life. You need food. Too much fruit sets me off with cravings.

    If you who suggest I have an alcohol problem are also the same people that say "everything in moderation" or "there are no such thing as bad foods" than you don't know a thing about addiction. I'm dealing with my addiction one day at a time. If I didn't let off a little steam with a bottle of wine, I could have easily abandoned the weight loss effort because I'm just exhausted from doing it every single day for over 7 months. Even though I didn't even get a buzz (which a bottle should have made me drunk - hence the title), I woke up the next morning feeling great and ready to exercise and eat right.

    Why are you spending so much time and effort defending yourself?

    When you come into the forums saying how much you drank,and how you didn't get drunk, as an alcoholic myself, my first reaction is that you need to evaluate why you're drinking.

    When you quit drinking for the taste and to enjoy the drink, and instead drink for the sole purpose of getting drunk, it's time to take a step back and think about things.

    If you want to drink, drink. Quit spending so much time trying to justify it...it's not healthy.

    fwiw: if you are going through menopause, or taking HRT of any kind, you*may* find that your tolerance goes up.
    Interesting thought about menopause although not the case yet. However, I can say some times of the month I can hardly drink anything without feeling nauseous. I think you hit the nail on the head with female timing.

    Yes, for me, the time leading up to ovulation I'm a light weight and the time leading up to my period 2 glasses of wine and I'm loopy, the same amount affects me much less.

    Yeah this is me. BUT my mind still thinks I can drink the same amount. This has led to both interesting evenings and turrible mornings.

    I love your ticker.

    My reaction when people claim they drink for the taste, not the effect:

    When you quit drinking for the taste and to enjoy the drink, and instead drink for the sole purpose of getting drunk, it's time to take a step back and think about things.

    If you want to drink, drink. Quit spending so much time trying to justify it...it's not healthy.

    Well of course she has to justify herself since people continually come in here attacking her. Just last page some holier than thou lady was accusing her of having DUIs.

    I don't think there is enough info in this thread to label her as having a problem (or not having one for that matter). Maybe some potential warning signs, but I think I'd also choose to defend myself in the face of all the presumptions being made based off what can't possibly be enough info for someone to make that call.
    I love your ticker.

    Usually, when folks lose weight they find that it actually takes LESS alcohol to get buzzed.

    Yeah this is me. BUT my mind still thinks I can drink the same amount. This has led to both interesting evenings and turrible mornings.

    This is an accurate description of my weekend.

    Pretty much this. If she came in and said: I have 1 5oz glass of red wine a night. I "can't" get through the night without my 1 5oz glass of red wine SOMEONE would have jumped on her and told her she had a drinking problem. Perhaps because she used the word "can't", perhaps because she "drinks daily". Whatever. To some ANY drinking is wrong. How it's couched in their replies is meant to appear well meaning, but in reality, they just don't approve of drinking. That's THEIR issue. It may or may not have any bearing on the OP.

    For others, there's genuine concern that THIS poster may have issues.

    I don't think we have enough info to make any such judgements. We don't know her.

    And, no drinking to FEEL it, does not mean one is an alcoholic, nor that one has a drinking problem.

    I have to agree with the others. At 49, if you're still drinking to get drunk on a regular basis, you might have a problem. It's worth looking into, at any rate.

    Thank you to everyone defending me and clarifying different positions.
    One of my many addictions is TV and it kept me up past 2 a.m. so my impulse control not to post was low. I had to respond here because I think genuine sincerity and defense of injustice will get you laid. :flowerforyou:
