    Only water with lemon, coffee first thing in the morning. . Wine puts me to sleep. I can't drink anymore either. Once in a great while I will have a Kahlua and cream at home. Or when I go out a glass of white wine, red gives me a headache, Or if I am really lucky the place I am eating at has Pear Cider. Love that stuff. Always limit myself to one however. Get really clumsy and loud if I have anymore and embarrass my daughter. lol

    Oh hell sounds like my kinda thread LOL!!! :lol: :lol: :lol:

    9 times out of 10 I am always walking around with a large glass of iced tea. Drink coffee in the morning to wake up and get going then swap over to tea at breakfast and thats the only thing I drink for the rest of the day.

    I probably need to cut back and go to more water but it is flavored water isn't it?!?!? I am a tea-a-holic from the word go!!

    Now I have been known to swap out for Long Island Teas later in the afternoon or evening and used a treadle a few times. But I have never been sloshed and went out and tried to sew in my studio. Then again I really never get sloshed at any time, I hate hang overs!!

    The last time my buddies and I did get pretty toasted "Bench Racing" on a Friday night, we shot a set of flames on a brand new BMW Z3 roadster just because we wanted to see what it would look like. He just picked the car up for his wife that night. :mrgreen: :mrgreen:

    Billy, I bet that treadle really flies on long island ice tea. I bet your feet are a blur, in more ways than one. LOL

    I love to have my red wine in the evening weather I'm sewing or not. I always have wine with me on retreats. Only rule - no rotary cutting afer wine is poured.

    I love to have a glass of red wine when I am hand sewing but never while I am cutting or piecing - Strictly water or club soda then.

    Ice cold diet-coke and Starbucks is always close to my right hand. So far have never spilled on anything. Hope it's the same today.
