chatty lady Writer Registered: 02/24/04 Posts: 20267 Loc: Nevada	Good news for those who enjoy an evening cocktail; recent research at the Mayo Clnic in Rochester, Minnesota found that in addition to reaping health benefits such as reducing the risk of heart disease and stroke, those who drank one alcoholic beverage daily were 54% less likely to be overweight than nondrinkers. Why? Having an alcoholic beverage at dinner may cause you to avoid having that second helping because you feel satisfied. Be cautious though; having more than two drinks a day raise one's risk of becoming obese....

I'd love to drink every night, but I am so afraid of beginning a bad habit so I wouldn't dare. If you begin drinking one, then after several months, won't you need two, then three? I gues I'm talking about relaxing. You're talking about losing weight. I don't think it would work for me because when I drink, I want more food.

lionspaaw Member Registered: 11/28/02 Posts: 887 Loc: SW Florida	I'm just the oppostite when it comes to food -- when I drink -- I don't eat -- and I stay away from drinking every night because - for me - one night its one and by weeks end -- I need two for the same effect. That might be because I like to drink beer -- perhaps it would be different if I like wine ?????? But as far as dieting goes -- drinking beer may be helpful to the kidneys but it sure plays havoc on the hips ;-)

Sadie Member Registered: 10/08/04 Posts: 1274 Loc: MD	Are we talking water or wine? I have been away form the forum and maybe I am not reading this well. I love a glass of red wine and white wine when I go out . They say red wine is good for the heart . I can't drink beer or the tast of it all. I love champane a lot . I can't get past two glasses of wine at any cost .

One glass of wine relaxes my tight muscles but when I open my eyes.....my husband is still there and poof!! They tighten up again. Two glasses of wine and he's still there but getting blurry and I can't hear him quite as well...three and, its a miracle...I no longer care so I go out for a Burger King Whopper and fries.

chatty lady Writer Registered: 02/24/04 Posts: 20267 Loc: Nevada	Nmber5, other than making your 'monster' dissappear, almost the whole point of the evening drink of wine or beer is to diminish the need for food not enhance it....oh my and a whopper too!
