Why not just have vodka and soda hun?Empty pockets never held anyone back, only empty heads and empty hearts can do that -Peale0

honestly, if you've just started the diet there's every chance you'll get blazing drunk on very little... safer not to drink at all hun... don't want to risk having one or two and being rendered legless....
just tell him you're on antibiotics so aren't drinking... you don't need to have a drink to be flirty and sexy...
i'd say keep control and don't drink... then suss out your tolerances in the safety of your own home....
and anyway, you are less likely to let twuntish shrek back into your life without a drink... another reason to abstain for a while....I'm just a seething mass of contradictions....(it's part of my charm!)0 -
Vodka and tonic or vodka and soda it is then!

I'm not planning on cheating on a regular basis, but I can't miss out on a date with a sexy medical professional for the sake of losing a few pounds!

Oh, I'm not bothered about the actual alcohol - I'd be fine with a soft drink, but I couldn't even think of a soft drink that would be okay. You can't have fizzy stuff, or fruit juices, and the thought of ordering a still water is just a bit....well.....I'm scared I'll look boring!(Land_of)_Maz wrote: »honestly, if you've just started the diet there's every chance you'll get blazing drunk on very little... safer not to drink at all hun... don't want to risk having one or two and being rendered legless....

Trust me, it's not an issue. It is BEYOND over - for reasons that I can't really say in public, but if I did, you would understand that I'm sure this time.

Hello all!
Sorry I haven't posted in a few days. I'm on my placement, at a Buddhist centre in Wales. This is the longest the internet has held out all week so I've actually got through the thread today.
Congratulations to everyone who did the LM, you're all amazing.
My student loan, MB money and daily scratch money have all come through so on Mon just gone, my bank balance was in the black for the first time in about a year. :eek: :j The rent's come out now so I'm overdrawn again, but it was nice while it lasted.
The internet here is totally dippy so I dared do any more MB until I get back on Fri. It'd be sod's law that as soon as I placed a bet, the connection would go down before I could lay it. :rolleyes: I've made a payment towards my Halifax c/c though, only £709.64 to go before I can look for that new computer. :j

i'm not saying anything about you needing to have a drink, or cheating on the diet (i do it all the time!!) or even his perception of you for not drinking.... i'm just worried it hits you hard and makes you drunk and you do something silly.... it's a control thing, and the unknown quantity of how it might affect you....#
am i making sense? Or do i sound like a right old fart?I'm just a seething mass of contradictions....(it's part of my charm!)0
