This, or simply psychological. "confirmation bias" - "when individuals believe strongly in a certain hypothesis, they optimally seek information that confirms it, allowing them to build confidence more efficiently, and often ignore evidence to the contrary."

1-2 drinks, twice a month. IF you are being honest about that, then that is insignificant unless you have a lack of the ethanol metabolites due to genetics. Many Asians and people of Asian descent such as American Indians aka Native Americans, have trouble metabolizing ethanol.

More than likely it is psychosomatic, since 1-2 lbs of water gain is insignificant. Drink a small bottle of water 16fl0z and that is a pound you gained in a few seconds.

Also you probably snack on salty or carby foods when you drink, and salt and sugar make you retain water. [/quote]

Oh please. If someone stays a certain weight and the scale goes up whenever they drink it’s hardly rocket science or anything that complicated. [/quote]
