Question for Mike W

How long before you had your first glass of wine? I'm starting to think about it....just 1/2 a glass or so.....I am 6 weeks out. Should I wait until 3 months? Longer? I'm not dying for it or anything...but I think it would be nice. ps. my nutritionist basically discourages it for the empty calorie factor but says one once in awhile is ok.

OH NOOOOOOOO I know I am not Mike, but I had to jump in on this one!!! You should wait at least, AT LEAST 6 months. One because alcohol is a gut irritant, two it dehydrates you and three it goes straight into you system causing your liver to be worked overtime!!! I don't know what Mike will say BTW MIKE!! We love you and miss you!!!! Kevin and Kristie too!!! But there is a friend here who decided to have some cosmopolitans a little early, and she is dehydrated severly now, and having some liver issues going on....not good!! Ok, I am done preaching. You are a big girl and can make your own decisions, but my friend I would wait.

I hereby do promise and solemnly swear to wait until at least 2/12/05 to have any alcohol. I know sound advice when I hear it. Drat. I am sticking with my coffee though!!! ****d espresso w/ carb countdown and sf vanilla syrup) love ya! Annie

Ok, we'll give you that! And guess what? February 12th is MY BIRTHDAY!!! So, you may celebrate in my honor!!! Isn't that nice of me! I will be drinking one with you on that day to be sure, as it is my BIG 40!! I can't believe that. Geez I am getting old!

Ok, now I know FOR SURE that I will be raising a glass in your honor on that day. You're not gettin old, you're gettin BETTER!

Yeah, that's right...better baby! I will be raising a few myself!
