Wine doesn't make me headachy or light-headed, or at least, I don't drink enough to have that effect! <br /><br />Actually, it occurs to me that green tea might be a substitute because it's bitter.Zhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00822383355869390919noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21602861.post-35337290533814210462010-01-19T22:32:37.913+00:002010-01-19T22:32:37.913+00:00Back from a short trip to France and catching up o...Back from a short trip to France and catching up on blogs - hence being late in commenting here.<br /><br />I am off the sauce too - purely by choice as a means to my "2010 healthy living" plan - and I drink elderflower syrup in fizzy mineral water with supper...lunch I have plain water or nothing, if I can't face another glass of H2O. <br /><br />I also miss the taste of wine but I don't miss the light-headedness that alcohol brings - even 2 glasses makes me sleepy and headachy and dull. I like this alertness. <br /><br />Be thinking of you re the op later this week.<br /><br />xxWendyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14257653410136495378noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21602861.post-56215408013686697642010-01-15T17:56:18.645+00:002010-01-15T17:56:18.645+00:00Oh, and Chai and green tea.Oh, and Chai and green tea.Zhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00822383355869390919noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21602861.post-56284253155640856082010-01-15T17:55:12.123+00:002010-01-15T17:55:12.123+00:00Happy New Year, WG - you're the second person ...Happy New Year, WG - you're the second person to say that today (the first was face to face). I'll be over soon - just what I need on a chilly evening!<br /><br />In the kitchen now, Badge, there are Earl Grey, Lady Grey, Lapsang Souchong, Rose Pouchong, Earl Grey fumé, Darjeeling, Jasmine and Redbush teas, as well as an array of herb tisanes and builder's tea (which I'm not fond of). I like tea. But I don't drink it instead of wine. Ditto fruit juices, which I also like.<br /><br />I'm not convinced that there is any substitute for a proper drink. Still, I can cope with short rations for a week and water (plus juice, tea and coffee out of mealtimes) for another week. Then I'm going to celebrate a return to normality.Zhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00822383355869390919noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21602861.post-41902349008201940022010-01-15T16:25:14.796+00:002010-01-15T16:25:14.796+00:00Don't worry, it shouldn't be long before y...Don't worry, it shouldn't be long before you can go back to wine drinking.

No water has ever tasted so good since. But I do drink water plain rather than with flavourings added. It doesn't enhance the enjoyment of food as wine does, though. Fine if I'm thirsty, but I don't drink it for pleasure.Zhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00822383355869390919noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21602861.post-71970580957934726382010-01-14T22:56:35.143+00:002010-01-14T22:56:35.143+00:00Water.
