You do realise alcohol oxidises into acetaldehyde
then ketone bodies & burns much faster & more cleanly than carbs?

1. Alcohol metabolism can contribute to lipogenesis. If you're trying
to lose fat then you're not.

2. If you're trying to alleviate stress, then why lurk/read/post on
asdl-c? Why not spend time with DH instead?

3. Using alcohol to "relax" can be habit forming.

4. Why are you "due" to drink alcohol? Have you been building up
no-alcohol-consumption points?

Tia,

Yesterday in the Houston Chronicle there was an article about a low
carb margarita mixer that might interest you called Zilch. I bought
some yesterday and can't wait to try it. Here's where the story is:

I thought you might be interested too.

Be sure to eat with your drink so your blood sugar won't go too low.

i dont need proof of that. im losing weight too quickly because im
essentially following JC's advice and havent had a real meal in close to two
weeks now. i dont care how it metabolises because my weight loss isnt the
biggest thing on my mind.



2. If you're trying to alleviate stress, then why lurk/read/post on
asdl-c? Why not spend time with DH instead?

there is nothing i want more, but i only get a few hours a day to visit DH,
and theres a bunch of worrysome things going on with that. im hardly a
lurker, queenie would be happier if i was. i am a low carber, i like the
people here and the conversations... its an unmoderated newsgroup, why cant
i read and chat?



3. Using alcohol to "relax" can be habit forming.

i have an extremely low tolerance to alcohol, so i'm the cheap date, one
drink and im pretty much gone. i dont like getting drunk, i never get that
way, i just want to relax a little bit. folks have a glass of wine (or
whatever) with dinner, im entitled if i so choose. however, i do appreciate
your concern.


4. Why are you "due" to drink alcohol? Have you been building up
no-alcohol-consumption points?


i was on antidepressants for over 10 years. because of the meds, it greatly
amplified the drunk feeling and i didnt like it. i probably had 20 drinks
in my entire life. im not building up points, i just want a drink, and i
want to know whats safe to have.

thanks.

i dont like wine, or beer... just something mixed with a diet cola or diet
sprite or something would do nicely. like i said, i dont do the alcohol
thing much, just wanted a quick something or other.

I don't know the answer to your question, but how about a small glass of
dry wine instead?
