Hi! Interesting topic. People with alcohol problems often choose a treatment plan that includes a diet controlling - guess what? - carbohydrates. I think Susan Powter's plan is an example. Remember her? The blonde, buzz-haired, noisey, mouthy low-fat chick? She was an alcoholic and later wrote a diet book for recovering alcoholics.

I think my alcohol "cravings" (and they're purely emotional cravings, not physical) arise from what I associate with drinking: being out with my honey, chit-chatting over beer and wings. Being with friends that I don't get to see often, except at the bar. Dancing - I love dancing at clubs.
