Made a mistake .lol

I decided I would take a couple sips of a beer. Nope not gonna do that again.lol I gave up soda. Not a problem. I didn't plan on drinking beer either. Just figured a couple sips was no big deal. I was wrong. I feel like I have a gas ball in my chest. ok, note to self... no beer ever again.lol Anyone else get this feeling?

"the strangest things seem suddenly routine"

Me!

Everytime I drink ANY alcohol my stomach burns - and eventually I PB. ALSO - I have reflux that night... just from a couple of sips of hubby's beer!!! (((and I LOOOOVE beer - or I used to)
Even though I have this response, I still seem to "test" myself about every 2 or 3 months.
Guess Im thinking Ill eventually "out grow" it.
No such luck!

let the beer sit out a bit before you drink. When the fizz is down it may help.

Hedwig, you can try this. BUT - for me, even wine-coolers, wine & margarita's cause stomach troubles.
Good luck - I really do hope Julie's idea works for you!

Paula its a good thing Margaritas don't bother me... The girls I work with have a girls night out occasionally and boy going to our usuall Mexican resteraunt wouldn't be as much fun with out the Margarits!!:) I find I don't get that brain freeze feeling if I drink them on the rocks.

Wow - Jamie - 100 pounds! CONGRATS!
I would think when a body has made that many changes it is much easier for it to accept alcohol.

I was a diet rootbeeraholic, and haven't missed it. But have a hard time drinking 64 ounces of water. But it's only been 3 weeks, I have time.

I miss beer.

Sad little pathetic statement which needs no further elaboration.

Never explain yourself.

Your friends don't need it and your enemies won't believe it.

.

I miss the occasional beer...however...now don't curl up your nose until you try it....I can drink tequilla and amaretto...together on the rocks! Yep its GOOD! But be careful it doesn't take much! You can sip it for a long time.

Luckily a glass of wine doesn't seem to do me any harm.
(Margaritas seem to do well too and don't even dare ask about my "adding protein powder to the Margarita habit", LOL) but I can no longer drink on an empty stomach. Even a light snack or some cocktail nuts seem to help a bit - but if I haven't eaten, then I'm no more good. That's why it's important to have a designated driver! )
