   1 I too had a weekend where I way overdid the whole drinking thing. I spent a Sunday lying in bed feeling like hell, and now I’ve quit drinking. Kind of odd for a girl who used to drink 2-3 times a week. I dunno if I’ll pick back up with it in December or after the first of the year or at all. Reply to this comment.

   2 Unrelated, but awhile back did you mention a liberal progressive church you went to in Nashvlle? It may have been years back and someone else…not sure. Reply to this comment.

   3 Naw, you won’t catch me in churches of any kind unless it’s for a wedding or a funeral. Must’ve been someone else. Reply to this comment.

   4 I decided to stop drinking for a few days, then a few weeks and it stretched to four years. It was really important that I did that and you’ll just have to follow it where it leads. Reply to this comment.

   5 Good for you. I hate it when I over-indulge. So much so, that the last time I did so (mid-October), I decided to quit drinking altogether. It’s just too easy to overindulge, and even if I do so only occasionally, it really adds to my weight and my migraines. I thought that, for me, it just wasn’t worth it. I’d be interested to see how your first December drink goes. Reply to this comment.

   6 I never drank much, but I do miss being able to have a beer or glass of wine and not think about it or plan it. For over nine months (while pregnant and in the first many weeks post-partum) I had no alcohol at all. In the past month or so I’ve had a half of a beer, few sips of champange, and a small glass of wine. I have to time it so it get metabolized before I nurse (and one drink is not considered an issue anyhow, but I am being extra-cautious) and I will admit that I miss being able to just have a drink when I want one.

   7 Hey, how is your post-flu vaccine ickiness doing? I hope it’s all gone! Reply to this comment.

   8 A friend of mine recently had a “I was drinking with friends and the next thing I remember was waking up in the hospital in a bed with an IV in my arm” experience. Reply to this comment.

   9 Oh, it’s gone. Took about a week to work its way out of my system, but it’s gone. Thanks for remembering and asking! Reply to this comment.

    10 Yuck, and scary! Alcohol poisoning, or what? Reply to this comment.

    11 Yeah, that’s kind of the way I’ve been looking at it. Thanks for your perspective. Reply to this comment.

    12 That would be my guess, yeah. I’m not positive though. Reply to this comment.
