Officer, there's no blood in my alcohol system
I'm not going to lie to you, my plans for the weekend can be summed up in one word: wine. I'm feeling worn out from all the actual work and speeches I did this week, I keep waking up at 4:45, and I'm ready to throw in the towel. That's right, I'm going to grab a bottle of riesling, throw on a filthy raincoat and go lie in a gutter somewhere all weekend. And, fortunately, in my neighborhood, there are plenty of available gutters in which to booze it up...you just have to be ready to cut a crackhead.
Oh, and that was a surprising twist in The Office last night! I hadn't heard that about Dwight. Things are getting interesting!

Have fun and be careful! :) You might go with a wine that is less sweet...the more sugar, the worse the hangover! :)
I talk a big game, but I'd probably be buzzed with half a glass and call it a night. I am a total lightweight.
Mmm, riesling. A nice, fullbodied shiraz is a good one too. A glass of wine before bed may just do the trick for you. Plus it's good for your heart, isn't it? Or is that dark chocolate? Or both?
Don't try to sleep in the gutter. You'll end up getting less sleep with bums and crackheads waking you up every 20 minutes looking for change.
I would have to agree with Beth, wine gives the worst hangover.
I really want a beer or a glass of wine, but the medical community really seems to frown upon pregnant women drinking for some reason...?
That's true. I'd have to get really drunk to sleep through the bums rifling through my pockets.
And, Katie, you stay away from the sauce, you hear me?!? I don't want that peanut coming out pickled!! ;)
I think a lot of European women still drink while pregnant.
pickled- hahaha!
I am behaving! But I do think its funny that many of our moms were able to drink while pregnant, but now if you even look at a beer while pregnant, someone is bound to chastize you!
Funny story... at Mike's parents over the holiday, his step mom served mushroom soup, as we are all eating it comes up in conversation that she used sherry in it. Mike nearly grabbed the spoon out of my mouth, not quite understanding that the alcohol cooks off...
Ha! I love the image of him grabbing the spoon and soup flying everywhere. It does seem kind of extreme to think one glass of alcohol occasionally would do serious damage. I've seen chicks on the Maury show who do all kinds of drugs and drinking while pregnant and their kids are pretty healthy. Weird.
You can tell I'm busy today...
My favorite question in "What to Expect when you are Expecting" is "I smoked crack before I knew I was pregnant. Is this going to hurt my baby?"
Unfortunately I did have a few drinks before I knew baby was on board, but everyone says not to worry about that. Haven't had a drop since, not even NA. One one hand I want to say that a drink here or there wouldn't be so bad, but then againg I can't bring myself to do it!
Completely understandable. It seems like the sort of thing you should avoid if you can, but you also shouldn't feel bad about a couple here and there.
So, seriously, somebody asked about smoking crack??
My friend Amy had no idea she was pregnant until she had the baby, true story! She drank a lot and the baby was fine. Not that I'm saying you should party every weekend but I'm sure whatever you did drink isn't going to have an effect.
