<\/a><\/p>\nI have never been much of a drinker. \u00a0Alcoholism runs pretty deep in my family and I’ve always avoided consuming too much. \u00a0I’ll go out for Girl’s Night Out or have a few when friends and I go to watch fights but it’s not routine. \u00a0I don’t keep wine or beer in the house. \u00a0I can go out and have no drinks or too many drinks. \u00a0(which I always regret)<\/p>\n

I don’t need it and it’s just empty calories. I went my first whole year of weight loss without a drink, I know I can do it again.<\/p>\n So over the next few months, I’m going to figure out how to meet for drinks without having a drink and how to get through social meet ups without ordering a cocktail.
