To Drink or Not to Drink??

[rablissful]

I also thought this was the drinking thread...


My thought is that humans have been drinking for a LONG fucking time. Long. We actually used to drink wine or beer more than water because the alcohol was sterile and water was not. If it really screwed with our fertility, our race would have died out long ago. Obviously we shouldn't binge, moderation is key.

This line of thought is my reasoning behind pretty much pregnancy and food related. If we had it way back when and didn't die out, it's more than likely fine in moderation. Also one of the reasons I plan on a birth center birth.

If I didn't get motherfucking migraines every time I looked at a bottle of wine, I'd still be drinking every single night.

I drank every single night for the first 11 months of trying to get pregnant. I did not get pregnant.

I haven't had a drop to drink for the past six months of trying to get pregnant. I did not get pregnant.

My summary? Who cares. Drink or don't drink, but don't pretend it matters.

I think you need this.

Pst, it's under my avatar.

I'm mobile. There's nothing there I need to get my computer fixed. But since I only use it for talking online, and downloading music, there's no real rush.

Heh.  Thanks.

For the record, if you sense some bitterness in my post, then it's because there's a lot of it.

EDIT: Pardon me while I update my mother fucking ticker.  Much cursing today.  Sorry.

Please don't take my response to your question as a personal attack on you.  I really don't mean it that way.  I just have a lot of angst today.

I don't drink much as it is, but I stopped drinking completely for the first several months of NTNP. I'm one of the people that heard drinking while trying to get pregnant is not recommended, just like excessive caffeine, smoking, etc is not recommended. I cut out alcohol in an effort to make myself healthier over all, which is why I changed my eating habits. I don't think an occasional drink is going to affect fertility (I don't think it will greatly affect a developing fetus either, but that's a risk I wouldn't take). A whole bottle of wine might make an impact but that isn't healthy for anyone, period.

Well now the drinking thread is making me anxious to get home. I am so over this job.

Someone give me the courage to give notice before I leave here tonight.

Who me? Nah, not for one moment did I take anything you said personally. I knew I was asking a question that people would have strong opinions about. What I didn't realize is that I was about to trick a bunch of people into thinking his was the official drinking thread... gotcha, fishies!

I'm sorry you're feeling angsty today. Soothing juju flying your way!

I'm in such a weird mood.

Also, I asked DH to go see Cinderella with me. I expected him to say something sarcastic. He said, "what time does it start?"

Guess I'm going to see Cinderella!

Yay!  I expect a review on my desk first thing in the am.

I will! I will be so much less stressed. If I do this I will get to spend more time with DH which I really really want to do!! I deserve some time off! I neeeeed time off! If I quit now it will give me a break before I pick up more hours for my other client at the end of this school year! I can do it!

Damnit! I forgot to keep taking a sip every time I responded! Chugging the rest of this (a single mouthful, ha) and refilling and chugging to halfway. *shakes fist at the air*

WAIT.  I want to take an OPK when I get home in about an hour...

CHUGGING IS POSTPONED UNTIL TOMORROW.  I will continue sipping, though.
