    Several people here drink it. And many more make their own version of it, it's cheaper as well.
    I usually do Vodka with diet grapefruit soda (like fresca or squirt), but I've also done tequila with just fresh lime juice and a dash of triple sec. The fresh limes tend to give me heartburn though if I drink too much.

    Ha! I'm so glad I'm not a beer drinker! I'll have one on occasion with certain foods, but going without doesn't bother me. Some of those really tasty craft beers are cuuuraazy caloric!

    I lost count last night. And someone really needs to keep me the heck away from a computer after I've been drinking. I'm fairly certain I managed to embarrass myself and probably pissed a few people off too. :frown:
    0 today and the rest of the week, hopefully.

    This made me laugh!! :laugh: I have the same problem only it's texting. Things I thought were funny on the drunk night are usually (the next morning) either not as funny or just TMI to share with your friends! :blushing:

    And the munchie thing... I just have to make sure I have about 100 calories to stick something in my mouth after drinking or I'll get up in the middle of the night and binge... BIG TIME binging, too!! The other night I guess I got up and made like a taco salad with my left over chili and the vegan queso I had. Don't remember making it OR eating it! :noway:
    This also made me laugh! Good thing I only have a few select great friends. I dont go text crazy, but meh it happens hehehehe

    I had two pints of Newcastle for lunch then I worked my *kitten* off in the yard so I cold indulge more this evening just to find out we ran out of vodka. closest liquor store on sunday is 12 miles away.( it is times like these that I miss So Cal and the ease of buying booze because I hate state run liquor stores)
    Consider yourself lucky I guess? It still shocks me that there are places that ban liquor on certain days or places.
    Although I *rarely* run out in my house..lol.
    Id move! lol hehehe

    Robin,
    That's crazy.....makes the mornings go better but afternoon now thats a different story!!! Good luck and I hope you have a good day :smile:

    Had Dogfish Head Black and Blue last night.....DELICIOUS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
    Tonight Lagunitas Hop Stoopid and possibly 1/2 a Fegley's Hopsolutely..... I LOVE IPAs :drinker:

    Keep up the good work kblue! I'm having thryoid surgery in 8 days, so I'm off any and all sauce for a bit and will have to live vicariously. I got plenty in on Sunday and Monday tho. But I'm thinking it's best to tone it down a notch lest I need a transfustion and they don't have any imperial stout IV's :)

    WELLLLLL.... June not looking so good for me, so far. But today is a new day!!

    Mon - 0
    Tues - 4.5 (Miller Lites)
    Wed - 6 (Bud Select 55s)

    Here is to all of you who can abstain during the week and only indulge on the weekends. I remember those days not too long ago! And soon I'll want to do it again. It's hard to look at those calories when you log them and think "Man! I could have eaten a cheeseburger!" :noway:
    meh Im still opting for the beer! HAHAHA

    Lagunitas Hop Stoopid delicious!!! Fegleys Hopsolutely, wow just might be my favorite beer ever....11.5% abv, WOWZA!!!!
    Tonight I think will be Firestone Walker Double Jack....another IPA@ 9.5%. I have no idea how many calories are in it. I'll be having 11oz and I'm going to assume 300calories, which is probably an over shoot, but its better to be safe. If I do alittle more yoga tonight I might be able to have another 6oz of Hopsolutely.....NO BRAINER :laugh:
    Happy thursday everyone!!!!!!!

    After the weird wine reaction and therefore greasy lunch I was good yesterday with only and ounce of vodka as a night cap.

    Tomorrow me and BFF are doing girls night at the casino. I got a room so we can drink freely, gamble and play hard. The casino is right next door to an outlet mall so we will do some shopping in the morning. I haven't seen her since July even though we only live 75 miles apart. should be fun.

    I had a couple glasses of pinot grigio at the movies last night -- but stayed under my cals for the day! Yay!

    Tonight we have our kickball finals...last week I did really well just drinking my cal-free marg mix with some tequila. Hopefully I will do just as well tonight!

    Thursdays are oddly hard for me...getting so close to the weekend I guess...but since I was going to try to be less-lushy this weekend then the past couple weekends....I am gonna try to start off right with tonight!

    I am so happy I'm not the only lush trying to lose weight. I like coming home after a hard day and having a vodka and coke. But it seems like I am having alot of hard days lol. I'm so glad I'm not alone. But if there was a diet alcoholic beverage out there with low carbs I would so drink it but one can dream!!!!!!

    just saw this and think it's a great thread. i'm usually good for most of the week but usually on sundays i tend to drink a lot. Trying to curb the beer out of my diet but it's hard since that's what most of the people i do drink. As what happened this past weekend. this weekend should be interesting.

    Last night my frugality got the better of me (no, I guess if I was really cheap I wouldn't order an alcoholic beverage) but Coors light was the best deal, so I had a beer, which I wasn't going to drink for two weeks.
    Then got to talking and went next door to the bar and had three more...

    Doing good so far this week... Nothing since Sunday (only had a couple shots in the morning to help fight the hangover from Saturday:wink: ). I'm thinking about keepin' it a sober weekend... Maybe a glass of wine or two since we finally got nice springtime (low 70's) weather here in Oregon but other than that I just wanna take it easy and hang with my kiddos! I'm trying to convince my husband that we need to go to the beach for a day but he blew out his knew last week and can't really handle that long of a drive or walking in the sand so I really have to plot out my plans perfectly to get him to agree:tongue:

    Well, I've given up the idea if staying dry until Fridays. Its been close to 90 all week and summer is just so much better when you can relax at the end of a hot day with an ice cold Sam Summer =]

    So, I had a Sam Summer Tuesday, two last night and a glass of wine. I've got 3 left, which may be had tonight for the basketball game. Tomorrow I'm spending the day with my mom And gram so there will be wine =] and then I'm sure something on Saturday for date night. I love summer :glasses: Fall is my favorite but I'm in love with the heat and sun. My boyfriend calls me a lizard becausr I love to just sit out in the sun all day.

    Guess which lush is back..oh yeah!!!! Wine on a Thursday night woohoooooo :drinker: :bigsmile:

    and it's all the fault of the company who delivers my grocery shopping, they offered a free bottle of wine to mark the anniversary of my first order with them, it would've been rude to refuse!

    Kim, I agree.. you can't beat sitting out in the warm sun with a nice cold beer or glass of wine!

    Yvonne, that's awesome they gave you a bottle of wine. That's always such a nice gift. My husbands friend brought me a bottle a few nights ago so I went to the liquor store and bought a half gallon of whiskey for the boys. Needless to say i'm a lush and bypassed the wine and went straight for the liquor as well :drinker:

    I'm having a night off :noway: - I have loads of calories left over that are inviting me to have a drink but I just don't fancy it. I must be coming down with something! Friday tomorrow though, so I'll probably feel duty-bound to have a drink or three....
