Alcohol can put the weight on too, not necessarily fizzy that caused the big gut ...think middle aged men and their beer guts ...

And what kind of wife would knock her hubby's teeth out? Alcohol can lead to violence...]]> Mon, 25 Jan 2010 14:57:11 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=31147&PID=909904&title=im-giving-up-having#909904 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=31147&PID=909903&title=im-giving-up-having#909903 Author: BerryBliss

Although in fairness I dont have a problem with either really, its not what people drink its how they drink it, whether it be coke or wine. ]]> Mon, 25 Jan 2010 14:48:27 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=31147&PID=909882&title=im-giving-up-having#909882 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=31147&PID=909870&title=im-giving-up-having#909870 Author: GuestGuest

Except Ive never heard of anyone drinking coke then getting in their car and causing accidents like people who drink and drive.

Oh I should join you. I have a glass of wine most nights with dinner. Would like to just have it on weekends or say once a week. I don't drink anything else apart from water, herbal tea and wine (or the occasional beer) I would much rather drink wine than the poison that is fizzy drink!

DH and I have a glass of wine or two every night with dinner. We are really big on our wine. We never go out and get drunk on the weekend though, that kind of drinking is a completely different mind-set.]]> Mon, 25 Jan 2010 14:28:19 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=31147&PID=909825&title=im-giving-up-having#909825 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=31147&PID=909813&title=im-giving-up-having#909813 Author: Peanut

I agree with Kebakat, I have never understood what all the fuss is about alcohol and 'needing a drink'. Sure when i was 18 I had the odd night out with friends ...maybe 3 or 4 times max. Otherwise no alcohol since i was 18 (before i fell preg with DS), im 22 now going on 23. Think im in the minority though, our drinking culture over here (NZ) is pretty shocking really.

I heard on the radio a while back that South Auckland has like 92 (or somewhere in the 90's) bottle stores/alcohol retailers...and they wonder why the crime rate is high here - surely there would be a connection. Every dairy complex in Papakura almost seems to have a Bottle store next to it now.

Each to their own though I think I'm of this mindset coz my parents never allowed alcohol in the house and didn't drink themselves, so I'm just following in their footsteps...

Good on ya for cutting back!]]> Mon, 25 Jan 2010 14:19:52 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=31147&PID=909796&title=im-giving-up-having#909796 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=31147&PID=909696&title=im-giving-up-having#909696 Author: Mamma2N
