Question about alcohol -

DH & I were invited to a Comedy Club on Friday night & with those, there usually is a 2-drink minimum. The thing is they don’t look highly on ordering sparkling water or diet pop – so what do I do?

I am so okay with just ordering water – sparkling so they can earn some $$$ off of me, but I need some reassurance. Plus the pressure of everyone else is drinking – why aren’t you & the questions I’ll have to answer just don’t look appealing to me.

Suggestions, comments, reassurance would be welcomed! I would hate to “mess” up. I am doing so well!

Hi Ladybugg, try not to worry about what "they" think.

Hey Mel - I am currently on D4. Friday will make it D7. Doing pretty well. Had the shakes on D1 & D2, but feel peachy now!

Ok, so you will be 1 week into the diet on Friday, I guess if I were you I might not want to chance it.

Thanks Mel. Good ideas. I am going to just say no. I am not really a rum/coke person & favor Vodka over anything. I am not sure tonic falls into the okay catagory at all, but I am going to order sparkling water or Perrier or something. I'll just tell them that I am the DD.

Good idea about eating before going, though. All the clubs I have been to have not had food (thankfully!) and I think having some nuts or yogurt will be a good idea! Heck - planning this far in ahead is great for me!

Just for future reference - There is such thing as Diet tonic.

I second the diet tonic - it is really good. And when I was Atkins, I'd get a vodka or gin mixed with club soda when I was out. I've never been to a restaurant or bar that carried the diet tonic. Good job with the planning!
