Being a bartender I do have a couple of suggestions (not that I do this, but I wish I did!) First, find an alcohol (not sweet or fruit infused) you have a hard time drinking straight and order it on the rocks with a pint glass of water-back. Make sure you drink the water each time you order a new drink. It will slow you down and rehydrate you at the same time. Avoid drinks with mixers (juices, tonic etc...) as it adds extra calories. Figure out ahead how many drinks you plan on having and try to stick to that. Always figure that a shot is usually more than the ounce serving they allot for when it comes to counting those calories.

AND IF ALL THE ABOVE FAILS, just go out and have a good time, drink a huge glass of water before you go to bed and take a couple of aspirin. Just get up tomorrow knowing you had a good time and plan to be better today!

 hahahaha you rock that was great,,,, so i definately have a hard time drinkin ANYTHING straight,,,, and when you say "fruit infused" is that like flavored liquor?? cuz i love flavored bacardi,,, but really thats a great idea being as i wont drink it as fast and either way i'll need that water after every sip,,,,and i'll probably get drunk faster,,,,,but the downside,,, once i do start feeling hott,,,and wild,,, i'll be able to drink em faster.....hahahahaha!!!! but i'm going to try it....oh and planning out how many i'll have from the get go....is a tough one,,,, i havent learned the "drink in moderation" key yet!!!! awww feelin hopeless!!!! i guess this muffin top isnt so bad,,,,,, HAHAHAHA EEEEEEEW JK!!!! anyhow bartender thanks for your advice,,, and as far as askin for it on the ROCKS how exactly is that priced??? like a mixed drink,,,persay rum n coke??? or maybe more like a long island??

wow thanks!! i will definately try that!! i realize i cant blame all my weight gain on "drinking" but i can truely say it hasnt helped! i've also began eating way more then i really ever needed to.  being a very small figured girl my mom complained i was to skinny and fed me (then 83LBS) man sized meals (what my stepdad ate 200LBS)  and i had this mindset that i was very against wasted so i gradually was able to eat everything in front of me, no matter how bad it made me feel! not to mention i was smoking a lot of pot the passed 4 years and always had the munchies. i never thought it'd all catch up with me like it did,,, now my mom pokes me in the stomach tellin me to "suck that in" So my next step is eating more proportionate sided meals.  which is very difficult!!

this girl at work mentioned hydroxycut,,, said she was going to bring some in to let me try,,, never really thought about diet pills, but it seems i've let this get way out of control to do on my own.  not to mention i was running for an hour a day up to 5 days a week on the crossramp at the gym (mix of an eliptical/treadmill/stair stepper) ya its a crazy machine,,, but has twice the results calorie wise compared to the treadmill or eliptical,,,, but still never noticed a difference in my body!!!! so discouraging!!!

ok theres my vent wow maybe i need to put that journal into use!!!

either way thanks for the advice.
