In honor of national margarita day, which adult beverage do you miss the most?

(inspired by the O19 BMB)

Obviously, I'm missing margaritas! They are my fav. Otherwise, I'm doing okay. Nothing else really sounds very good. I blame it on the heartburn.

zuuls_mom · February 2019

I want a nice crisp glass of Sauv Blanc so badly.

RedBreast35 · February 2019

I loooove margaritas too @kgg2241!! I can’t really say that I’m missing anything, though, since the thought of any alcoholic beverage still turns my stomach.
I used to love my glass of white wine/craft beer when I got home from work though. More for the unwinding than the actual booze.

kgg2241 · February 2019

@RedBreast35 yes, same here. Right now I'm not missing them, but I have a feeling I'll be a little sad in the summer when it is so nice out, and you just want to sit on the patio with your cold craft beer.

lillywonderland · February 2019

NONE! Lol. I don’t like alcohol. 😆

But if I had to choose I would say Moscow mules. Or NZ ciders.

@kgg2241 FX you guys have an Indian Summer this October so you can still enjoy your “summer” brew on the patio!!

kiddiesandkitties · February 2019

@zuuls_mom my mouth is watering for a delicious glass of sauv blanc 😍

cammie0526 · February 2019

I don’t really miss the alcohol itself, but I miss being able to just have a drink with others like a mimosa at brunch with friends last weekend or a glass of wine at my neighborhood book club. I think that makes sense. Thank god we’re almost to the point where we’ll tell everyone so I can stop coming with random excuses!

chichiphin · February 2019

Mules, bourbon drinks, SOUR BEER, margs, crisp white wine. I’m not a lush, I just don’t descriminate when it comes to alcoholic beverages

We have a local brewery that makes the best sour beers I’ve ever had and I’m working on MH to bring me a half growler after I deliver! Thank goodness it’ll be early sept, plenty of time for patio drinking postpartum

kgg2241 · February 2019

@chichiphin I LOVE sours too! They are my favorite beer. I definitely team DH bringing you a growler lol.

kmitchy · February 2019

@kgg2241 I was also bummed out on national margarita day! Then again, I moved from San Diego to Oregon a few years ago so really, I've been missing a real margarita for a lot longer than 9 weeks haha.

I'm also in the Sauv Blanc camp, plus a Pinot Noir or Moscow Mule *sigh*

Like @cammie0526 I mostly am tired of explaining myself at happy hours. It would probably be weirder for my friends if I didn't go at all (we've had lots of celebrations after work lately), but my excuses have not been well planned either... oh well.

zuuls_mom · February 2019

@chichiphin @kgg2241 sours are the best!! H and I discovered them at Great American Beer Festival several years back and they’ve been our fave ever since. New Belgium makes some great ones! Aaaaaand now I really want a sour

kgg2241 · February 2019

@zuuls_mom totally agreed! My first time at the New Belgium Brewery totally opened my world to sours.

zuuls_mom · February 2019

@kgg2241 I am in love with their Tart-tastic sour and was devastated when they changed to a “special” one this summer. It lacked so much flavor. Hoping they bring it back this summer so I can have one of them as my first pp drank!

themadcamel · February 2019

I haven’t really been craving any alcoholic drinks because I’ve been so sick, but my brain definitely misses it. I’m sure it’ll be harder in the second trimester once I’m feeling better and all the beer gardens and patios will start opening up again.

I miss wine, all beers except IPAs and APAs (I could never get into them for some reason), bloody Marys, mules, and gin cocktails. I’m an equal opportunity drinker lol.

monkeysmom80 · February 2019

I'm not a big drinker but I did miss just having a beer with everyone when we went out this weekend. But I do miss coffee and I didn't stop because I thought I should. My stomach did not like them any more!

nda_roxybabe · February 2019

Last pregnancy I didn't miss anything, at all. This time, a nice cold moscata sounds good at times.

nda_roxybabe · February 2019

@monkeysmom80 Oh no! Last pregnancy I had to switch to decaf because caffeine made me dizzy. Last pregnancy also made me hate pizza (STILL).

@nda_roxybabe this makes me so sad!!

Pizza is basically its own food group at my house.

@RedBreast35 My H is devastated. It's his favorite food and he has it at least once a week. It's SO trippy. I mean, I liked pizza! and now, I have to be in the right mood which is very rare. I think in the 2.5 years since I got pregnant I've had pizza a handful of times.

cmdesigner · February 2019

Oof, I really miss my gin & tonic and local brewery beers. Also bourbon. We were in Ireland right before I got KU and my liquor cabinet is full of the world's best gin from Dingle Distillery and an amazing bourbon barrel distilled whiskey from Tillings. I'm not a big drinker but I love craft drinks.

OMG same @RedBreast35!! @nda_roxybabe this makes me so sad! I would resent my child for taking away my taste for pizza haha.

rms924 · February 2019

I really miss my venti americanos with an extra shot. I don't know if that counts as a "big girl" drink, but man- I really need my caffeine (full-time job and two kids). I am BEAT.

cheshyre319 · March 2019

I want a cocktail so bad right now (margarita, daiquiri, etc). I'm blaming the lack of consistent sleep. And I really want that slushie texture. I wonder if a slushie would help?

monkeysmom80 · March 2019

@cheshyre319 Sonic slushes are my go to craving while pregnant!

kgg2241 · March 2019

@cheshyre319 ah yes. Margarita slushies are my weakness. @monkeysmom80 I forget about Sonic. I'll have to give that a shot.

mamaber2204 · March 2019

Kombucha! It's not fair that it has alcohol and caffeine!

kaceyallan · March 2019

Now that it is nice out, I want a cider so bad! My go-to in the summer months. I don't drink much in the winter. It's more of a social thing for me, and we hibernate a bit in the winter.

I am hoping slushies will get me through this summer!

blitzybee · March 2019

I want a cold glass of white wine. Sauvignon Blanc or Chardonnay. I have a quick weekend get away planned in a couple of weeks, and may consider having half a glass of wine with a lot of lacroix in it by the pool. 😬

sparkles5275 · March 2019

@mamaber2204 I asked my doctor about Kombucha and she said it's fine. I like the GT's brand and on their website they list the caffeine content at 8-14 mg per serving and the alcohol is up to .5% (I get the type you don't need an ID to buy). That said, I only drink half the bottle at a time and drink them sparingly!

cheshyre319 · March 2019

@kgg2241 and @monkeysmom80 and @kaceyallan
Went to gas station for a slushie this morning. Heavens above, it was perfect. Exactly what I wanted. And 32oz was $1. If only they came in larger sizes!

septoctkids · March 2019

@kaceyallan I haven’t been thinking of any big girl drinks lately but now that I read your post, the taste of a cider on a warm day is heavenly! Ugh I’ll miss a nice drink on these warm days ahead. 🥂

mainemomma8316 · March 2019

I really want some Prosecco! 🥂🍾

janat1717 · March 2019

@mamaber I drank kombucha my first pg. We brewed our own though and 2nd tri in the winter the ferment slowed and I started getting light headed from drinking it. Not tipsy, it was a weird feeling. Anyways, I stopped drinking it. I wouldn't worry about store bought though and just have a little at a time with meals. My 4 yr old seems fine.

LilyASF42 · March 2019

Wiiiiiiiiine! I’m a definite wino. And in my other two pregnancies I allowed myself a few sips on occasion but it never tasted right. I’m not having any at all this time though since I’m not as confident about my health to start with this pregnancy so just being extra cautious.

dahliasanddogs · March 2019

I miss them all! but at the moment, it's an IPA I really want. Soon I'll miss white wine when it warms up. I just read a chapter from "Expecting better: how to fight the pregnancy establishment with facts" and considering having a drink here and there over the summer. Not sure if I'll get past my guilt and have more than a few sips though. I am still drinking coffee but typically leaving at least a 1/2 cup untouched.

kmellies88 · April 2019

Gin & Tonic, white wine and dark beer!

cheshyre319 · April 2019

The weather was a perfect spring day today and I so wanted a cider. And tonight, i really want a glass of wine.

I know no alcohol is best, but when more family visits I may have a 6oz pour of wine. Or a beer. For their safety.
