When I started Atkins, I decided that I wouldn't have any alcohol to drink at least during the first 2 weeks. That passed, then I decided I'd go two more weeks. That's passed (presently on week 6), now I'm going for another month. Not that I had or have a drinking problem, I just don't want the added carbs and the fat burning delayed. I will no doubt at some point start having a beer once in awhile, after all, one of my hobbies is brewing beer.

Just my thoughts.
