Any drinkers on here?

I am most certainly a drinker beer, wine, or vodka with seltzer and lime when I'm trying to keep calories down

I like to drink too! I am trying to cut down while I try to lose, but I often just want 1 or 2 to unwind. I usually stick to vodka sodas since they are low in calories, but unfortunately too many of those lead to bad eating! My girlfriends all love wine, so I drink that too but it just has too many calories. My recent goal has been to log all alcohol and all food, even if it means admitting to myself (and MFP friends) that I went waaaay over. (I have a vacation coming up that will absolutely throw this goal off.) I can definitely use more friends with open diaries, so feel free to add me!

I found my drinking stopping me from using MFP, cause god who wants to count the calories in red wine.... but indulgence is indulgence and watching calories means finding low calorie drinks, and logging whati drink is an eye opener, so i have cut back

You will see 1-2 glasses of wine in my diary almost every night & a couple nights a week when I go out I drink more than that. I think the trick is to allow extra calories in your budget for it make sure you log it all as accurately as possible - the amount of calories in alcohol was a huge eye-opener for me. Some days I'll work out extra just so I can drink more. I've still been steadily losing weight and have not given up my drinks (or anything really, I think that's why I have failed at losing weight so many times in the past). Sending you a friend request!

I am still a drinker (love wine!), and I log all my drinks - wine, booze, whatever. Sometimes its a little embarassing, because of the number of my overall daily calories that come from alcohol, but if I don't track it then I can't make sure I stay within my daily limits, so... it is what it is.

Please feel free to add me (that goes for anyone in this listing, because I'll then add you back and it'll give me a better sense for how others are 'having their champagne and drinking it too'. ;-)

Argentina - the warmer climate means richer wine. And tbh, the economy of Argentina mean cheaper.

I lost over 40 pounds while getting drunk almost every weekend! My alcohol tolerance is much less than it used to be and I can get drunk off of less than I used to.

Barefoot should pay for sponsorship on my log!! I love my pinot, at least two-four evenings I week. I typically allow calories for it, but sometimes those glasses put my a little over...I'm still losing so I haven't felt the need to change my habit yet.

Fellow drinker here. I have been avoiding since Jan 1st. I had lost almost 30 pounds last year. Then between Oct - Dec gained almost all of it back. =( Working to get back on track. I know I will drink again...maybe today after reading this thread. However I need to balance things. Friend me if you want.. I am always on here reading but don't have any friends on here. I just know I have something in common with all of you.
