How do you feel about hard liquors?

Post by jidery » Thu Apr 06, 2017 5:03 pm

I find after a rough day, even on an N day, I'll come home from work and occasionally get cravings for a dram of whiskey or vodka. Mind you I mostly stick to one small glass and drink for the flavor and stress relief. Is vodka and whiskey a snack for you guys?

Also, I'm keeping beer to S days by choice as that's a big part of my weight gain, but what about a glass or 2 of wine?

Well, moderation is needed here, too.

I don't know if you've taken a look at the Glass Ceiling system, but basically it's that in a calendar day you can have X number of drinks (a drink being defined as a glass of beer, a glass of wine or a measured shot of hard liquor).

X is usually below 2 or below.

When I drank more than I do now, Glass Ceiling for me was two drinks. I have never found that to be a significant interference.

For me, my drink ceiling on NoS days is one. Two will always contribute to weight gain in my case if it occurs on five straight days. But I think Reinhard's ceiling is perfectly acceptable.
