I've been drinking alcohol since about 5 days into induction. Usually, I will have rum and diet coke if we go out somewhere. At home, I make my own concoction of vodka, Diet Mt Dew, and blastin' berry cherry sugar-free Kool-Aid. Makes a kind of carb-free punch. I have only had beer twice after I started this WOL (and it was low-carb beer), but I dislike the bloated feeling I get after drinking beer, so I gave that up. The fact that I continued to drink alcohol surely slowed down my weighloss, but it did not halt it.
