    I've pretty much cut it out. I'll still drink but I stick to liquor straight or mixed with diet sodas. Occasionally I'll have some wine or a beer but I try to stay away from those.
    this is a great read: http://www.leangains.com/2010/07/truth-about-alcohol-fat-loss-and-muscle.html

    i personally have cut back, but i still go out a couple times a week and only have a few drinks. i build it into my calorie load.

    ^^^This is good advice IMO.

    I'm with most of you. I cut it out completely and haven't looked back! I just plain don't want to anyway. I had my fun in college, but now it's time for me to grow up. :) plus I cannot tell you how much better I feel now! It's truly indescribable!

    I've been resisting this so hard, the need to cut out alcohol - because the only thing I really drink is fruity ciders which I know full well have tons of sugars and calories in them BUT I've made so many huge changes all at once, this would have been a step too far haha! (Huge changes = eating clean, eating a deficit, eating breakfast for the first time in about 35 years, exercising regularly for the first time in over a decade)

    But despite all these huge changes I've only lost 13lbs in 3 months so its time to give my lovely fruity ciders the heave ho until the beer baby has shifted. Wish me luck!! *sob*

    (I'd have maybe 4 - 6 of these ciders over a weekend and can't cut out the social drinking so I'll be trying some of these suggestions here, thanks everyone!)
