I'm about ten weeks into reta and down 17 pounds, which I'm genuinely happy about. But something changed with alcohol and I want to know if it's just me. I used to have two margaritas with friends on a Friday, wake up a little tired, be fine by noon. Last three times, one and a half drinks left me foggy, headachy, and flat until Sunday afternoon. Not drunk — just draggy, like a low-grade hangover that overstays its welcome. The upside: skipping the second round is effortless now, and my sleep app is thrilled. The downside is the ritual — I like having something in my hand while everyone else orders. So I'm curious, did your relationship with drinking shift on this? And what did you swap in for the social part? I've been nursing an iced tea in a fancy glass, wich mostly works, but I'd love more ideas.
