I rarely ever drink- maybe 1 beer a month (if that). I also went to a pretty big party school (Penn State) and drank quite a bit! My body feels much healthier now that I rarely drink!

I was never a big drinker. To be honest I just don’t enjoy the taste.

Hope you get in a great run tonight.

awesome breakfast!!!!!!

I don’t drink at all!! yea…i’m weird, but I just don’t like the taste of alcohol!!!
sorry can’t help you with that~

I am the same in that – I dont drink like I used to in college. Depending on what the plans are, I may not drink at all one week and then drink 2-3 nights another. But I havent been hungover in awhile, because I hate the way I feel, so I usually keep my drinks to a minimum. this weekend may be a different story though. 😉

Hi Caitlin –
I’ve been following your blog and I think it’s awesome! I love your meal ideas. I live in NYC and saw you’ll be up here for your bachelorette – if you need any suggestions on where to go I have a million. Have fun!

Wow, I was surprised that so many people are like me and “just don’t like the taste” of alcohol in general. You really do feel like the minority in college if you don’t enjoy drinking.

I hope you feel better, lady!

Also–I got “In Defense of Food” last night. I’m looking forward to reading it on my train ride to VA.

Oh boy…that granola looks delicious!

Hope you feel better soon!

I don’t drink alcohol. I never really did like it!

I used to drink a lot in college too! Although my version of a lot in college was average in college. It only took about a month after graduating for my tolerance to sky rocket down to nothing haha. Which was good. I would hardly ever drink during the week, then once in a whiel on weekends, but since then any time I ever get drunk I get sick…not fun, so now its just not worth it to me. Now I drink about once a month, and sometimes if I have a glass of wine at dinner I don’t even finish it. I don’t want to drink my calories, it saves money, I dont have to pay for cabs (I usually volunteer to drive), and I like to dance at bars anyways so I dont need to be drunk to do it. I still ike to get a nice buzz once in a while…like at homecoming is like my drunk day of the year hahha. Ok that was long…have a great day!

So exciting about the wedding rihgt around the corner!!!

I have all but stopped drinking in the past year. I used to be a big ‘binge’ drinker- I didnt go out often but when I did it was shots galore. I feel much better not going over my limit now. Maybe I am just getting old too! haha

my college was pretty small so if you wanted to drink you had to go else-where…so i never really drank, and still don’t. I didn’t take my first drink till my 21st bday and since then have probably had a handful of some…mostly shots…hahaha…

glad you liked the granola!!

the rest of your year sounds awesome!!! i know you’re getting married on the 3rd, but i’ve forgotten, when you leaving for your honeymoon and getting back?

It’s crazy how your body adapts like that, isn’t it!?

I’m not a big drinker at all. All it took for me was one bad drink-too-much-sick-for-days experience and I NEVER want to feel like that EVER again. Plus my school is definitely not a party school, they give us enough work here to last a lifetime!

I’m definitely like you – used to be a big drinker and now it’s way toned down. I am however a huge fan of wine (I am one of those who collect it) and always have about 10+ bottles in my wine rack as does the bf.

I do not go overboard though… we usually split a bottle so I get about 2 smallish glasses and he gets 3-4 glasses. When going out if I order something like a martini which I love, I only get one because any more and I’d be feelin it the next day! I do make sure to go for a run if I’m ever feeling hungover even if it makes me want to boot because I know afterwards I’ll feel so much better – it seems to flush it all out of my body. My brother taught me that trick.

Where are you going in NYC for your bachelorette?? That’s where I live!! 🙂

yea when you get older the hangovers hurt more than they used to. It’s how you know you are too old to do that much drinking anymore.

I went to appalachian state high in the north carolina mountains. it was such a big party school averaging 8 ft of snowfall every year. we used to drink until we were warm. which was sometimes not until the spring. Nothing like an outside keg party when it’s 17 degrees and snowing.

And i’m irish. Getting drunk and having sex with strangers is what we call an introduction. So i had my fair share of hangovers. It took a good wife to make them go away.

i only started getting hangovers after college. my “old age” is catching up with me. i HATE hangovers though. once, when I was living in Spain after college, I had a late night and ended up in bed the next day till 8pm!!! It was awful…I limit my drinking now cause I get such horrid hangovers.

well I have a drink of wine at least once a week, but this past weekend I was bad and had a full bottle of wine over the course of the whole weekend and some more at the familys house on Tuesday night. Let’s just say it’s been a hard week.

But for some reason I had drunk it early enough in the night with lot’s of water, that I didn’t have a hangover any time. I love wine I could never give that up:)

4 weeks off! You lucky gal!

I rerely drink these days. I had my fun back in college too where I’d drink every weekend to the point of embarresing myself/blacking out ect. so I guess I’ve had my fill of partying. I was much heavier then, booze + booze muchies = 140lbs on a 5′ frame. Not good. Since I’ve grown up and lost weight (30lbs) I have cut back A LOT! I dirnk maybe once a month if that, and I only have 2-3 drinks when I do go out. I don’t like being hungover, I don’t like getting too drunk, and I hate wasting calories on booze.

I’m not a big drinker anymore. I usually will only drink once per week, if that. And it’s usually only one drink, occasionally two. I used to always get a drink when we went out to eat, then I decided that it makes the bill a lot more expensive and I don’t even want it half the time. I enjoy eating my calories rather than drinking them most of the time 🙂

I probably drink once a month, if that. Usually if I go out with my family or a girlfriend I’ll have something to drink. Besides that, it’s too expensive! I got over that drinking “stage” of my life after my first year of college.

Your breakfast looked yummy! Have a great day!

I started drinking a lot after I met my fiance. He was a heavy drinker and I was trying to “win him over” or something. haha. I gained about 10 pounds, which wasn’t that bad because I was still thin… but I felt huge. So, after a year of that I finally convinced myself and my fiance that we needed to stop that habit.

I have not had a drink since May 2007 and I have lost that 10 lbs. My fiance still drinks occasionally, but he sees the benefits of NOT drinking and likes them more than drinking! 🙂

that looks great! i never drink, either – i just never got into it, even though all of my friends have.

hope that we can keep in touch 🙂 and congrats to you and your future DH (dear hubby)!

I drink. I like wine and wouldn’t ever want to give it up. I don’t put restrictions on it really…a few nights a week, couple of glasses. Probably more on the weekends 🙂 Definitely drank more in college though.

Am I the only one who doesn’t drink much anymore, but MISSES IT TERRIBLY? I will be fully upfront and say that reason numero uno why I don’t drink is a purely vain desire to avoid empty calories. “Just one,” unfortunately, either puts me to sleep or just whets the appetite for the monster within. Let me temper this comment by adding, in case anyone has any wrong ideas about my overall priorities/work ethic, that I also graduated from college in 4 years with a double major and a 4.0 GPA to show for it. As if the alcohol calories aren’t enough to contend with, the same invariably to be accompanied by late night pizza slices. yummmmmmmmy

suzanne- ahhahaha i commend your honesty. i feel that way about similar other “bad” things that i probably shouldn’t mention on the blog. alcohol is one of them! i DO love to cut loose and party. but you’re right… the trouble with alcohol calories is they are always accompanied by cookie calories or pizza calories.

I know I hardly ever drink and when I do, I feel like death!

Have fun at your late romantic dinner tonight!

Heather
