I have watched some of these posts about drinking, or not, and I hope collectively you can find a balance, and I suspect some of you may discover that you have more of a problem with alcohol than you recognized.

In general, I think the clear hard liquors are carb-free. In general, I think anyone who drinks Everclear outside of a Fraternity house has a problem with alcohol. Just one woman's opinion.

I am not alone on these boards having discovered that life is simply infinitely easier now that I don't drink at all. The skills I have learned in building a life without liquor transfer easily to living LC, as well. For me, LC/Atkins is a breeze compared to trying to "control" my eating in a low-fat, low-cal plan. Similarly, and I can only speak for myself, Not drinking at all is easier than controlled drinking.

Take what you want and leave the rest.
