Afternoon all, 6/15 for me please.

I never had a bad head after AF wine, Sandypan, but the Sainsbobs sparkling is quite high in sugar I think, so that might have been to blame. The only AF drink I can take for a whole evening without feeling sick because I've o.d.ed on sugar is Beck$ B1u3. If I drink even decaffinated coffee after lunchtime it keeps me awake at night, so Beck$ has been a real lifesaver for me.

Glad the thread's working its magic for you, MaggieM. Without it I couldn't have made it through the first three months of not drinking, so I'm a huge fan of it, too.

Good luck with the weight thing Shaggy. I guess most of us would like to be at our most svelt for Christmas so I'm sticking with the sugar-free until my waist has gone back to being 28" and ideally I'd like to be about 133lbs or even less. I confess to having 50g of homemade ice cream last night, but it was made with a very low sugar jam (I know because I made that myself, too) which was lovely but very rich so I won't need to do that too often. We do eat baked beans occasionly, so thanks for the tip off.

8/30 please and thanks for my cat smiley yesterday, one of my favourites.

I got through a business trip last week pretty well. I drank a lot less than I would normally and was one of the first to retire both nights. On Friday I had half a glass of wine at the airport and then kicked myself for ruining what could have been an AFD!


Anyway, back on the wagon yesterday and back on the diet to try and lose the last couple of pounds before my holiday. After that I can try and lose my holiday weight gain before Christmas!


Reporting in with 3/13 (one for last night and one early for tonight as I won't be drinking)

I'm up to 5/25 so far, including this evening. I did have several glasses of mulled wine on Bonfire Night but no headache next day, so I think I evaporated most of the alcohol
