I could never handle as much drink as my friends. I did of course do my utmost to keep up but no matter how drunk I got ( and I did ), I always had the little voice in the background telling me to watch myself. I managed to get through a night out but found the following day or two difficult. I used to drink vodka and diet coke and everything seemed to go to plan. My main problem was feeling crap afterwards, not so much the bgs, just the down feeling of drink. I don't bother anymore, prefer an extra biscut or bread rather than drink. It's called getting old.
I admire your courage DM, I know of quite a few people on the AA programme. I attend Al Anon myself. Glad you are doing so well.
One of our friends from our working in restaurant day drank this concoction she called a "Colorado Bulldog" with vodka, diet coke, milk (probably creamer in restaurants but we have skim and it's about the same effect...) and Kahlua. It sounded sort of gross but they are quite tasty and not too heavy on the carbs as we just use a splash of milk.
It sounds alright y'know. I remember one night in Belfast drinking pints of Black Russians, dunno what was in them but oh they were lovely. I have been since informed that one should only have shots of Black Russians. I kept telling everyone I couldn't get drunk. Just glad no one recorded me on their ph.
