Guest guest Posted November 6, 2011 Report Share Posted November 6, 2011 So we've talked about water and IE...what about alcohol?I met with some friends recently who talked about having had too much to drink on multiple occasions in the past as a coping mechanism. They had recognized the need to explore various social options to get them out of the house so they wouldn't drink so much.It occurred to me...I am fairly intuitive about alcohol intake when I'm by myself, but not about food. I cannot drink to excess when I'm by myself. I've actually planned to drink a lot when I was by myself...either for just sheer enjoyment of the particular beverage or as a coping mechanism for something going on in my life. I've never been able to do it. At some point, my body just says STOP, and I always end up with significantly more still in the bottle than I had originally intended.. I end up drinking more in social situations, but I just can't do it when I'm by myself.However, I will overeat whether I'm by myself or with others.Now, why does my body stop me with alcohol and not with food? I'm glad I don't have problems with alcohol, but I do wish I was as intuitive about food!Sara Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
