    Hahaha...original poster asks what drink she can enjoy when going out and gets painted as an alcoholic.

    it'll teach her to ask questions. sheesh!

    Actually this thread has been AMAZING!!! So far I have had several people message me and a few people that are currently new to recovery that were slobbering over this post at the thought of having some alcohol. My comments snapped them back to reality.

    So thanks for this.

    I don't drink. If I do it is 2x a year so I don't worry. Don't drink no worrying about calories...

    I dont drink alcohol unless on vacation. Too many empty calories and I need all the nutrition based calories I can get.

    I drink vodka. 2 ounces is 140 calories. I usually burn around 1100-1300 calories per day on workouts. I work out so I can have a few drinks and eat what I want.

    Not saying you aren't helping some people but I dont think it's fair for you to automatically jump to a person has a drinking problem. I enjoy a drink occassionally and was wondering the same thing. If reading a post makes some start slobbering then they do have a problem and do need help. If they are just asking a question that does not equate to they have a problem.

    So, do you think a little heroine for an addict would be okay? Ya know, giving them a little slack?

    If alcohol is a problem, listen folks, it is a problem. If you can not give it up, then IT IS A PROBLEM!

    The only problem I have with alcohol is that it's too expensive.

    Exactly, and I did not accuse her of having a problem, I said if you can not imagine living with out alcohol then it is a problem. If you go all day and are depressed because you can not have alcohol it is a problem. I did not accuse anyone of having a problem.

    See, the thing is, if my answers are upsetting people thats their business, not mine.

    YES!! I WOULD give "heroine" to a junky. It would be nice to have a woman of distinguished courage on their side.

    Everything in moderation, with that said I enjoy red wine or a vodka martini w/just a smidge of vermouth. Enjoy!!!!
