Every since I found out I was pregnant, I feel like I'm obsessed with alcohol. I swear I'm literally counting the days till I can consume an adult beverage. I have never been a big drinker. I enjoy drinking just enough... because drinking too much is always unpleasant for me the next day. My drink of choice is usually wine, though I enjoy margaritas, and the occasional dark beer. The dark beer thing is a little odd, I'll admit, especially considering that I gravitate toward fruity, girly drinks. But someone pointed out to me that the fact that I enjoy Guinness or Sprecher Black Bavarian might have something to do with my enjoyment of coffee. Makes sense to me!
Thankfully, my sister pointed out to me that my preoccupation with alcohol is probably due to two things:
1. It's the forbidden fruit right now... and we always want what we can't have.
2. It's summer! What tastes better on a warm summer night than a cool, frosty adult beverage?
I think she's right with both of those points. I don't think I'm in danger of hitting the sauce hard once baby arrives in December. But I'm very much looking forward to that first glass of wine post-baby!

You're pregnant? Wow! Congrats!
[biting my tongue on all the comments I COULD make about life with two kids... heheheh]
And hey, they used to recommend that pregnant women drink Guinness, for the iron!
I hear ya!! I would consider myself a regular casual drinker - ya know - on the weekends. Giving up the cosmos and margaritas hasn't been as bad as I thought it might be. But there are days when I could really go for a big strawberry margarita!! Just gotta go with virgin. I think that will do the trick. May try that tonight!
I think your sister is completely right on this! I'm a fan of coffee type dark beers, but always want to drink them after dessert or in the morning, lol!
Congrats on the pregnancy. I was the same way with all three pregnancies. Your sister's right. It's the forbidden fruit. A sip of wine won't hurt the baby and might get rid of the craving.
Oh I was so obsessed with alcohol when I was pregnant....I feel for you on this one. It was tough!!!
Glad this was not just me! It seemed like I could smell alcohol if it was in the vicinity! Course now I'm nursing and still haven't been able to quench my thirst the way I want! Call me paranoid. I will take the first sip of the Hubb's beer on occasion, but haven't had a full one of my own in over a year!
