Anyone else find that one drink puts them under the table now? I wasn't ever really a big drinker before but now that I'm eating less if I have even ONE drink I'm sloppy!

Seriously. Tell me I'm not alone.

    You are not alone! One drink and I'm tipsy. I used to be able to drink people under the table!

    Not alone, sister!!! :) I can take about 3 sips of wine, and I feel a relaxing feeling in my legs, my face gets hot, and I get a heat rash on my chest. Yeah, I can't hide drinking :) LOL

    Yep! Same here :D. It took me off guard the first couple times and now I really only need one/two drinks for an entire evening. It's nice being a cheap date!

    Oh me too! It's so bad with mixed drinks. Beer is a little less so just because 1 fills me up and I can't drink more even if I wanted too! Stomach holds a lot less...

    Yeah my 100 pounds down means 2 things. #1 I can't afford the calories like I used to and #2 it doesn't matter if I could, I can't handle my liquor as I have in the past.

    I lost 27 pounds and then went to a Christmas party. Tried to drink a bottle of wine and ended up over the toilet. Felt like a first timer, hahaha.

    Fellas, I hope you're taking notes.

    I'm no longer a lightweight. When I first lost a good chunk of weight, I was though. It all evens out if boozing is really important to you. :smile:

    I used to be a heavy drinker ~ also being able to drink people under the table ~ but I honestly haven't had a full drink + some, since roughly August of 2011. Therefore, I think I'm going to be careful the next time I drink!!! Who knows, maybe it will just be a cheap 1 drink kind of night going forward lol

    I never drink a lot. I probably only go out twice a month and I have a 3 beer/2 'girl drink' maximum.

    I went out last Saturday night for a little bit. Two beers. I was done. DONE.

    It's strange how it works, but great

    I am the same way, not only am I eating less but I hadn't drank in over a year cuz I was pregnant with my daughter. I went out with a couple girlfriends a few weeks ago and tried to hang. BIG mistake on my part lol I was able to keep up but when it hit it hit really hard and I payed for it the next morning.

    Oh yeah! It's a mixed blessing because the calories add up the more you drink!

    Reminds me, where is my glass o' wine?!

    My husband made beer-cheese soup. I had a cup and slept for 2 hours. Laid out. Couldn't even WILL myself to get up. He had to bathe the kids and put them to bed. I mean, really, how much beer could have been left in that soup?!? I used to drink like a football player! :drinker:

    So let me tell you about Vegas.. 17k calories burned that week.. drank like i normally have in the past. Well, let's just say I'd tell you about Vegas if I remembered what happened in Vegas. Total hangover moment.
