Can't help you nurselady (but I promise NOT TO YELL!!! ) . My alcohol rung consisted of adding a few tablespoon of dry sherry, vermouth or wine to my cooking....

Hi Nurse friend :wave

I get snockered on one glass of red wine *if* I have been staying away from alcohol for a while (like a month). But my tolerance builds quickly if I drink once a week or so.

My guess is that you've been pretty good on the diet because you want to reach your goal, so the alcohol hit your bloodstream harder -- OR you drank on an empty stomach. THAT can make your head spin with just one drink!!! :confused

it was dumb I know 2 cups of pistachios comes out to lik e750 calories!!! good grief too much and and the havoc it played on my stomach with the vodka....oh well I slept really really well last night and thank goodness was still ok this morning...I am a dork ....I am going to put a pistachio ban into place in my house and I am only going to drink with food ...jeez at this age you would think I would have a bit more common sense!!!

lol, I get snookered more easily with booze now too. Good in a way though, you can get away with 2 or 3 and still feel fine the next day

Count me in as another atkins 'cheap drunk'..and self confessed nut addict. A big part is because i used to be a beer only drinker, so liquors takin a bit to get used to.

Last weekend i was at a friends and ate who knows how many cups of 'volcano spiced' peanuts..mmmm...

normally my downfall is pistachios or almonds. My silly alcohol soaked mind always tries (successfully) to convince me the effort/time it takes to shell a pistachio means i'm eating less, and well, almonds are just so good for your heart...why wouldn't i eat 2 cups of them!! then i suffer the next day LOL.

OMG I have kindreds!!!! we cans support eachother cheap drunks with nut issues!!! See how wonderful Atkins is...LOL kidding ...it was true I was smashed on one drink and had NO hangover...that must be some kind of good thing?...and the nuts....they are soo adictive ...thanks you guys!!!

Sadie that is so funny I was doing the same thing ...expending calories cracking pistachios!!! duh!!!!!!!!......I did not expend almost 800 calories!!!!.....
