I can definately confirm the fact that you will very easily feel sick as a dog if you're not careful.

I took my first drink about 3 weeks ago. It was 4 or 5 glasses of dry white wine. Now, I was a major drinker before I started Atkins in Sept. I could drink a lot without any problems.

Let me tell you! I drank the wine and seemed fine, then, like a train out of nowhere I was drunk. It just hit me like that! Within one hour of that I was sick as a dog all the way into the next day. Also, a major headache.

I can definately say that the experience made me realize that I wasn't missing nothing and I will be super, super cautious whenever I do have a drink (or maybe 2) again. Since that time, I've had no desire to have a drink.

I'm on the straight and narrow path for now!
