If you want to get healthy and lose weight, no. This topic is Rule #4 in the Heading Healthy weight loss article. I’m not saying you can’t ever drink again, but the more rules you bend, the less successful you’ll be at this. Give yourself a fighting chance and stick to it. I struggled with this one, too. But now I’m fine with not drinking and most of the time don’t want to. When your body starts to feel better, and you start feeling better about yourself, drinking becomes less of an issue.
