Hello lushes!
Everyone ready for SuperBowl?? My favorite drink is Canadian Club with Diet Coke. For Sunday, I'm prepared to bring some yellow and green jello shots that will be made with rum and sugar free jello though. I am also having some sugar free Jager bombs as well...
During the week are my heaviest drinking nights. Those are the happy hours and team trivia nights. I try to limit it to 3 nights a week, but ITS HARD!!!0 -
anyone have the racing thoughts while trying to fall asleep?
<raises hand>
I've been such a horrible sleeper for so long! Finally, my doctor prescribed Xanax so I could chill out and not have my mind race. I tried Ambien and other sleep meds, but they just knocked me on my butt for 5 hours then I was wide awake...thinking...all over again.0 -
When I drink a lot I will "fall asleep" (i.e. pass out) then wake up around 4am, not sure if that is when I am sober, or if it is the sugar in the alcohol. I wonder if the dreaming when you're not drinking is really just because you are waking more in those dreaming stages of sleep instead of the passed out sleep where you might not be roused as readily.
Last night I had a single glass of wine. I think a single glass of red wine is really do-able for me because I don't drink it as quickly as I would a beer or a vodka-soda. I was also with my pregnant friend and she wasn't drinking so that probably helps.0 -
good job so far Kim. yes my mind races big time. I think it takes me about a week of no drinking to get to where it isn't so bad. thats why it is so hard not to drink. I like to sleep.Monday, 0 drinks
Tuesday, 2 1/3 Samual Adams
Wednesday, 1 Samual Adams
Thursday, 5 wine (3.5 oz per glass)...like 2 sips if you ask me
Total: 8 1/3....I think I am doing better than the last 2 weeks...3 more days to go with a superbowl which our division is in
Also, I agree with the dreaming aspect when refraining from the alcohol...we even had a discussion at work about it...most drinkers do have difficulty sleeping and thus we hit the bottle to compensate...anyone have the racing thoughts while trying to fall asleep?0 -
I budgeted my calories so I could finish off an open bottle of my favorite wine. Shade Mountain VIneyard's (a semi-local winery) Six Dwarf's Mint Wine. Tastes like a Mojito without kicking me in the buttocks. It's more like my buttocks getting gently caressed.

I love your signature - I tell people that I am at the gym at 4:45 am so I can be there before I am awake enough to talk myself out of going! 0 -

MFP states 3.5 oz and other sites I have seen indicate 4 oz...so, it really doesn't matter, I usually polish off the whole bottle0 -
Cheers!! Glad I found this post! I'm a weekend drinker anymore...mostly Friday nights. Last night I spent the night in with the beau but I might go out tonight...hitting the treadmill to make myself feel better about knockin' back a few
What's your drink of choice? Mine is either a good Bud Lite or my bloody mary's! 0 -

According to Ask.com wiki answers
The standard answer is five. Five ounces of wine contain approximately the same amount of alcohol as a 1.5 ounce serving of 80-proof liquor such as whiskey, or a 12-ounce beer.

Glad I found this group again! :drinker:
I didn't make my goal to not drink Sun-Thurs in January, but I found that I was a lot more mindful of what I was drinking and I made sure I counted every drink in MFP. Vodka martinis go down WAY too fast, so I pretty much stuck with wine.
I too find that the nights I don't drink are full of very vivid, very strange dreams. It's not much of an incentive to not have that bedtime nightcap...
