I know this is the place to ask because I've seen posts on it before. I just cant find them.

So......here is my question. What alcohol and mixers do you use to keep your sugar from rising. I had vodka and oj last night, and after the first drink, I was into the tootsie roll candy dish.

Any recipes for specialty drinks would be great too!!!

Well , Im gonna say that the sugar in the Oj had little to do with the tootsie rolls....Im telling you, as a person who, drinks.....er...well.... drinks. It's not about the sugar- its about the fact that alcohol dimishes your capacity to reason......****, I drink vodka with diet rootbeer, crystal lite, kool-aid (with sweetzfree) and I know that if I go beyond a certain point, forget it.....my reason goes to poo and Im all over anything that I want to eat...My advice is, if youre a person who can handle drinking...then do it with something TOTALLY sugar free....if youre a person who can't handle it, then just be prepared to blow it EVERY time you drink...a painful confession but very truthful. Now most people will answer with ' oh I can handle it..." but alcohol is an insidious thing......and if youre not watching it, it can do really horrible things to you- both weight wise, and other. good luck.

but if I was going to advise to a person who can handle it, i would say that there are a lot of flavored vodkas these days that are good with diet 7-up or crystal lite lemonaid.....

Can I handle it? lol obviously not...but here is the difference. I can have several glasses of semi dry white wine and Im fine. Anything sweeter and Im looking for marshmallows in the cupboard.

By first drink, I meant by the time I finished the glass and was onto the 2nd, which had koolaid...which I found out this afternoon wasnt sugar free. (too little too late)

So for me, I believe it to be the oj, and koolaid, or maybe the vodka....I dont usually get the munchies with wine, until Ive had too many (4 or 5) Who knows, but Im not willing to find out again until I hear somemore of what others mix their drinks with. Diet rootbeer and vodka sounds really really good....especially if you toss in a splash of vanilla davinci's
