We are terrible teetotalers

hlke · April 2012

So C and I enjoy adult beverages. Mostly beer, but some mixed drinks and wine too.

Well, now C is in the two week wait, and I am doing an food allergy/sensitivity elimination diet, so we both can't drink for the next who knows how long. And it only just occurred to me that our house is FILLED with alcohol. Last week I needed dark rum for a banana cake I was making, so C stopped by the liquor store to pick that up, and I had her restock a few things in the liquor cabinet at the same time. And then every week at the grocery store we pick up a six pack or two, but somehow we're overstocked right now.

So if anyone wants to come over for drinks, we've got quite the supply that we won't be using anytime soon!

I completely feel your pain. We also have a very well-stocked liquor cabinet and run with a very foodie/winey/cocktaily crowd, and transitioning to not drinking (originally at our midwife consult, I was told to stop drinking entirely) felt VERY weird. These days, though I don't drink in the 2ww, I have started having the occasional cocktail or glass of wine or beer (like maybe once a week) in the first part of my cycle. It's been nice!

Yep, I hear you...since starting the two week wait, I've realized just how often I would have a drink on getting home from work! Last night I had some cranberry-apple juice mixed with gingerale, and it was a nice change from water or milk that I've been drinking all week!

Ha! This is us! We have a terrible alcohol collection and somehow it multiples anytime we have a gathering of friends. People leave half bottles and never remember for next time they come, bring something different, etc.
