A friend once remarked that when I was wining and dining the whole was greater than the sum of its parts.
It became clear that I was going to have to choose- eat or drink. I chose eating. No one was more surprised than I was.

Fortunately, I was able to cut back on alcohol consumption during my weight loss journey. I'm not a casual drinker (again fortunately). Mainly a social drinker whose consumption mainly came on a day or two on the weekend.
I didn't completely phase it out however. If I knew I'd be drinking, I did everything humanly possible to account for it. Biggest thing I would do is, leading up to the social event, cut my caloric intake a couple hundred calories for a couple days prior to the event. That, and\or do an additional 5-10 minutes of cardio in some capacity. There are ways to "combat' it, but sustaining that practice is the challenge.
If over-consumption happens, it happens. No need to beat yourself up over it! Tighten up the diet and cut back. Plan for it when you can.1 -
@streakcheer7 I was having this though this week as well. Reading thru comments I see many I can relate too. The munchies and poor food choices that accompany it are haunting. And just 1 glass of wine leads to another. We love cocktail hour at our house. Going to try to just sub a smarter choice during this time.0
