But it is a blessing in disguise since too much drink means weight gain also. _________________________ http://cyclewriteblog.wordpress.com/ (How cycling leads to other types of adventures, thoughts) http://velourbansism.wordpress.com

chatty lady Writer Registered: 02/24/04 Posts: 20267 Loc: Nevada	I have told people countless times in as many social functions, that I am allergic to alcohol and break out in horrid blisters if I have even one drop. Shuts them right up and they never bug me again to, "oh come on just have one little drinky." _________________________ Take a peek at my BLOG: http://charleen-micheles.blogspot.com/

greene Registered: 07/23/08 Posts: 262 Loc: Atlanta,Georgia	I've felt like saying 'i'll break out in rehab' a few times, but, seriously, just carrying around a ginger ale seems to work for me. For me, the best stategy is to stay away from drinking occassions. Edited by greene (01/27/10 08:52 PM)
