Non-alcoholic drink choices for those of us on the 3 month wagon?

[Aperitif]

It sounds good, but surely it's still crying out for a shot of vodka and a dash of very dry sherry?

- forget the rest. Big Steev is right.
I have enough trouble with a bike, let alone being on a wagon.

 

[Rhythm Thief]

I agree. I spend enough time in a real wagon without clambering about on virtual ones.
Best of luck to those attempting this alcohol free feat, but I'll stick to beer.

Lushketeers are not allowed to travel on wagons anyway. Happy New Year!

I drink a pint of Lime & Soda. It is gassy enough to make me feel like I am still drinking beer, has next to No calories and tastes OK.

Perhaps I should take this opportunity to admit to being a very heavy drinker.*

If I cut down the alcohol consumption will that help me loose a stone or two?

* Current consumption being a least one bottle of wine per week.

If you don't replace the alcohol calories with calories from something else - yes!

I also tend to drink too much alcohol. When I stop boozing and continue eating sensibly and exercising regularly I lose 1-2 pounds a week. I lost about 9 pounds in the first 6 weeks of 2009 like that. I'm finishing off the last of my Christmas/NY beer tonight and then I'll be trying to repeat that rate of weight loss.

PS I've just noticed that you only drink one bottle of wine a week. That isn't much so you might not notice much difference by cutting that out. A bottle a night would be a completely different matter!

 

[Speicher]

Well, slightly off topic. I have cut out the crisps, (was eating at least two packets a week), and the cheese. Changed to skimmed milk in porridge, with no sugar. All very small changes, but should help, I think.

Half a bottle of Codeine Linctus, a slug of Starbucks Caramel syrup, ice, lemonade, a slice of cucumber, a slice of apple, half a strawberry, a slice of orange and a sprig of mint.

A good evening and a clear chest for the next week’s rides.

I was thinking of having Benylin shots!

Benylin "chesty coughs Original" is far superior to "chesty coughs non- drowsy", IMVHO.

Ooooohhhhh yes!

* Current consumption being a least one bottle of wine per day, before breakfast.

If you want to lose a 'stone or two' measure yourself in kilos Speicher - the number is larger, and a few here or there doesn't matter.

For the amount of wine you consume, maybe you need to measure yourself in litres.
