Alcohol?

After a summer of disciplined diet and exercise, I’m down 8lb and feeling amazing. I’m feeling “thin” and I’m rarely bloated. I’m exactly where I want to be.
This weekend DH and I finally have a weekend off with no plans and nowhere to be. I’d love for us to play a round of golf and then sit on the patio and enjoy a few drinks. But I’m the type of person who pays for it for DAYS after, and I know if I wake up bloated from the alcohol, I’ll feel really discouraged. Is there a way to enjoy a couple glasses of alcohol and not pay the price the next day? |

You could try non-alcoholic beer -- some of them are really good now!
Or ask the bartender to make you something fun and non-alcoholic. Or alternate an alcoholic beverage with a large class of water or seltzer. |

| I sip on straight bourbon. Doesn't make me bloat at all |

| Not really. You have to stick to drinks like vodka and soda. Specifically gluten free vodkas. Not all of them are. |

+1 for the bourbon, vodka, and whiskey (straight) - you'll pay for it but not in terms of bloating. It makes me shaky and feel guilty about everything, so generally I don't drink hard alcohol, at least not in the last decade.
Limit yourself to 2 glasses of wine early and skip a meal or two. You'll definitely feel the effects and it won't be as bad the next day. RE - non-alcoholic mocktails is just BS. Really it's just overpriced fruit juice. Call it fruit juice and pay half the price, simple. It will come in a boring glass. Plus, you still have all the calories of juice and sugar, which makes me bloat. |

Bloody Mary - the mix counters the vodka effects next day.
In addition to electrolytes, sodium, potassium, and Vitamin C, tomatoes also contain lycopene, which is high in antioxidants Helping the liver. Obviously- if you have like 5 and double the vodka or something it may not ge a great morning. |

| tequila is the lowest in calories I think. i think you want to drink you have to really limit what you eat to lean protein like shrimp cocktail or chicken satay or something. Salads can cause bloating |

| Enjoy ONE drink, and nurse it. Then switch to water. |

| No solution. Just enjoy the drinks and clear your calendar for the morning so you can sleep in and then have a greasy breakfast. |

| I stopped 8 months ago and don’t regret it. But a drink for me would turn into more so it’s easier for me to have none. |

Spicy Ranch Water with a Tajin rim.
It’s topo chico, tequila (get a decent one), lime juice and fresh jalapeños. Delicious! |
