    Anyone know if there's any correlation between alcohol and osteoporosis?

    Not sure, but leaning toward a yes, I know, pop definitely does....here's a tip, take calcium supplements with vit C and not with iron....iron and calcium compete to bind which effect absorption

    Good to know.

    Happy February fellow lushes. Robin, how was the wedding? Hope everything was beautiful and if it was not I am sure nobody noticed.

    Cristy - congrats on the 30 days!

    For those of you that drink most days :bigsmile: do any of you have trouble sleeping or have weird dreams on the days you are not drinking? DH is feeling worse instead of better.

    the wedding was beautiful, I can't wait to get some photos to post. It was exhausting but that is okay. I am glad to be home but now I have to get used to working and the job isn't really coming together the way I thought it would. I see a lot of wine in my future.:drinker:

    Glad to see the February thread. I did NOT change my habits on my trip to Florida, so wonder of wonders, I gained weight. +Sigh+
    Back on track today. Why is it so darn hard to lose and so quick to come back?

    What I heard was that fat cells never go away, they just shrink. so one splurge and they're there-just waiting to fill up again. Kinda sad:sad:
    lipo is starting to sound like a good option:tongue:

    I like vodka and sugar free red bull and vodka, soda, with lemon and lime juice--my favorites are pomegranate or clementine vodka with soda.

    I'm having a grapefruit vodka with sf red bull right now. Yum!

    (I also just got back from playing 2v2 volleyball for 90 minutes, so I feel okay about the cals!)

    I am definitely in this category. I love my vodka tonics (or a vodka martini if Hubs is feeling generous enough to make me one :smile:) and while I have cut way down on them, I can't give them up completely. I don't count red wine as an alcoholic beverage or a BAD thing at all because it has and always will be part of my healthy lifestyle. I attribute my amazing blood work to regular fish and red wine consumption....but I digress.

    I have given up ice cream, soda, pizza, french fries, fast food, and a host of other things. You can take my vodka from my cold, dead hands. :laugh: I don't have it much, but I am just not willing to compromise. I tried club soda (gag) and diet tonic (gag again) and decided it's just worth it to me to work a little harder that day and have my drink or 2.

    I love this thread, all you get here is a lot of "DON'T DRINK THAT!!" and it's sad. Alcohol can be part of a healthy lifestyle!

    Yep I'll drink to that! :drinker: :happy:

    Well I am enjoying my freedom to be lushy week but am actually still pretty well controlled. I've had 2 glasses of red wine on both Monday and Tuesday nights, then tonight I decided on a shot of vodka, I still have half a bottle of red wine open and I'm sure that will be enjoyed soon. I've had loads of calories left so could've have drunk more and still stayed within my calories but I just haven't felt the need to. I guess it shows that the more I try to deny myself something the more I want it.

    First day on my diet I decided to celebrate with tequila and orange juice...and a few shots. Now I'm just trying to work out extra hard for Hockey Fri, UFC Sat., and Super Bowl Sun.

    Beer is my preferred but for mixed drinks Captain n Coke although a spicy Bloody Mary on the golf course in the morning is pure heaven.

    I like anything vodka and anything wine. Although i've really cut back on the wine. Maybe 1 bottle a week instead of 3-4. Also i recently started with the vodka and club soda too once I realized that there are like 90 calories in tonic water and 0 in club soda.
