Three meals in the last week have consisted of just wine. No, tell a lie one also involved a handful of falafel and some salad cream. Anyway, this is not a good state of affairs, so I have decided to cut out the booze until Christmas. My waistline will thank me, but I admit I'm not looking forward to being teetotal. I'm not a huge drinker and can go months without a drink at all but a large glass of something cold and preferably fizzy does give me some much needed confidence. I'm naturally a happy drunk, going from midly silly to deeply silly in the time it takes to sink one unit, but would like to think it's something that I can get by without. So, five months of diet coke and Evian. Obviously I'll still cook with wine...can you imagine Coq Au Vin made with diet coke?

you are brave, I can't go without alcohol completely. It's just reassuring and relaxing to have a drink from time to time.

Good for you. I don't think I could do it again though myself. You sound like me, I don't drink a lot and am a happy drunk too

Ooooh, Missy M, are you sure? I'm already terrified. I expect we should see it as a challenge rather than a severe trial xx

Good luck with that, but definitely don't give up the cooking with wine! Or spirits. Which should give you plenty of scope! Does wine turned into jelly count?

You're gonna be merry after a sip at Christmas!
I've been detoxing too (except for last night's party), it does feel good. xx
