temping question re alcohol

mick0516@aol.com · August 2009

Hi ladies,

I'm looking for some advice on those who have been temping longer than I have. this is my first cycle temping and I want to do what I can to make it as reliable as possible.

I know alcohol affects temperatures but will as little as 1 drink have an affect?

thanks!

doubt it- unless you are taking a shot of tequila right when you wake up

not really. if you do go out drinking one night though (i mean, hey, we still gotta live our lives, right?) then don't be surprised if your temp the next morning is higher than normal. it's a typical side effect. just note it on your chart so you know why.

For me, if I drink enough so that I feel a buzz, it makes my temp go up a bit.

To make it as reliable as possible I guess you've have to not drink at all or limit it to one at a go.

nah, one drink shouldn't have any effect. the only time i noticed that drinking may have given me a higher temp was after a night of *several* glasses of wine.
