I want a beer.

MeleahMae · April 2010

No, I'm not going to drink one... I just am craving them. I think it's my stress levels at work. SIGH

I will probably taste one after baby is born and think to myslef, "why the heck was I craving this...this sucks" lol

Anyone have any alcoholic cravings?

DaniLovesPink · April 2010

I craved beer with DS. Thing is: I don't drink it, I don't like it. Never have.

This time, when I think "margarita" my mouth is like the Atlantic.

neferhathor · April 2010

YES. Beer is the thing I miss most. I don't miss getting drunk or tipsy, but i just miss the delicious hoppy wheaty taste of beer. Whenever DH gets one that I particularly like, i always steal a sip just to get a taste!

LadyDelilah · April 2010

I . Love. Beer. and I plan on pumping and dumping so I can have one the SECOND DD is out.... Like I mean while shes in the warmer (jk) I also look forward to hot wings with out heartburn with the same fervor

SuperThat1006 · April 2010

I have been seeing beer and wine on TV and I'm like, "Mmmm."

The thing is, though, it's just like coffee. I haven't had hot coffee (just a handful of frappuccinos) since the first week I knew I was pregnant. I LOVE coffee and miss wanting it. But, alas, I don't want it.

Same with beer and wine. I miss wanting it and being able to have it, but it's just an idea. If I took a sip I'd probably feel like instant crap.

I crave beer and wine a lot.. My DH was reading in one of his fatherhood books that 12 oz of wine on a full stomach is fine and so the other night he told me about this..I told him I had read the same thing, but I am a chicken and I don't want to risk it..I guess I b*tch about it so much that he asked out OB the other night if it was ok..Poor guy doesn't want to feel bad for still being able to drink..

LCB34 · April 2010

Mine is red wine.

It doesn't help that I hosted a bridal shower at a wine bar this weekend and had to smell one of my favorite reds!

mlc92404 · April 2010

I'm a big wine drinker but it hasnt sounded good at all. I really want a margarita, beer has sounded good (and I'm not really a beer drinker) and while we were on vacation all the fruity drinks sounded good. But mostly the margarita!

Jean&Crys · April 2010

I also want a beer right now!!

The other night my DH cracked one open and let me tell you, my mouth was watering SOOO bad. I'm not a drinker really, but I do like my occasional beer here and there.

It's even worst now that the nice weather is here - what better way to enjoy a cold one than on the deck outside on a nice warm evening.

neferhathor · April 2010

12 oz?!? i think that would get me tipsy even on a full stomach haha! I'm a super lightweight though.

bone2595 · April 2010

Yes, but only when I see other people (mainly DH) drinking it - like when we went to Germanfest last weekend.

I refuse to be the DD next year! And I don't mean darling daughter..

BB0830 · April 2010

I am not normally a beer drinker, but boy do I crave a beer right now! I just want a big frosty mug of Blue Moon or Oberon with an orange wedge. It sounds soooooo very good!

YES. How badly I want a Sierra Nevada on our balcony.

spvsilvina · April 2010

I always take a sip from DH's beer or wine or whatever he's drinking. That's how I satisfy my cravings.

mrs.spears26 · April 2010

yes! i've been craving champagne and i don't ever drink it! it's very weird.

stpetegirl · April 2010

I say go ahead and have one. A beer now and then isn't going to give your baby FAS. I have found that Kaliber by Guiness is an good substitute, if I am going to have a drink I would rather have a glass of wine. Which my midwife has approved.

Yessika024 · April 2010

My doctor approved me the occasional non-alcohol beer/wine every now and then. matter of fact, I had one on Sunday...sometimes if i crave one and i'm out i just smell DH's and i'm fine for awhile.

veebug22 · April 2010

I definitely do now... didn't at all in the 1st trimester, but now I miss the taste of beer, wine, and apple martinis. Obviously the apple martini is going to have to wait (although I found an okay n/a recipe!). I also have one the occasional n/a beer. I like Clausthaler, which is a n/a German lager. It's actually pretty good. Once I'm closer to 3rd tri I'll probably have the occasional glass or half-glass of wine, but right now I'm fine with the n/a beer. There are some good ones out there, you just have to look! Definitely don't settle for O'Doul's - blech.

babyblueize314 · April 2010

I crave beer all the time......and I don't even like it! LOL

thewonderlove · April 2010

Pre-pregnancy I hated beer. But for the last 48 hours I've been craving it. Hubs finally went and got me a six pack of non-alcoholic O'Douls last night (before you flame me, just know that one n/a beer has about as much alcohol as a sip of a real beer). I made a non-alcoholic Michelada last night with half an O'Douls (bloody mary mix, lime juice, and the half O'Douls). It was delish!

Beer cravings? I don't even know who I am anymore!

snansley · April 2010

I have been trying all the NA beers out there. Sometimes a sip of DH's beer satisfies the craving as well.

I miss wine too, but it doesn't taste right. Even if I poured a glass, I am just not interested in more than two sips.

VABride2008 · April 2010

Surprisingly enough, I haven't craved alcohol at all during pregnancy. I almost always had a glass of red wine (or two) with dinner pre-pregnancy and we drank with friends on most weekends. For some reason it just hasn't appealed to me. All of my friends keep saying they can't wait until we can get drunk together again after the baby is here, meh, as of right now, I won't be joining in. We'll see how the next couple of months go.

MSC03 · April 2010

Labatt's n/a beer is THE BOMB!

McKenna04 · April 2010

I love beer and definitely miss it- even after getting the ok from my doc to have a beer every once in a while- i still dont, and i pretty much had a beer with every meal up until i got pregnant! WATER SUCKS lol

davidandmickey · April 2010

rochella:
Yes, and straight liquor. DH had a shot of whiskey the other day to cut through a cough (that's how we do it in the south when there's no cough syrup) and I literally salivated upon smelling it. THEN on Sunday there was a beer episode of Iron Chef. I was dying.
Before getting pregnant I was an occasional-fruity-cocktail-or-glass-of-wine sort of person. I have no idea where the cravings for beer and straight liquor came from. Oh well!

DH would make DAMN sure we never had cough syrup in the house! Wink

I'm a beer and wine drinker, and I have missed both on occasion. I soooo wanted a beer on our honeymoon (late honeymoon, already pregnant) - long flight, then getting to the hotel with an incredible ocean view, just before sunset... all I wanted to do was sit on the terrace with a cold beer! aaauuuugh! Springtime makes me crave white wine. WAH!
