    PMS and drinking

    I've noticed I drink a lot more when I am going through PMS. Anyone else? It would be good to find a solution for this.

      PMS and drinking

      That happened to me last year-that's why for a very long time I could only get past 3 AF weeks at a time. I would just get this huge craving and I wasn't even bitchy or in a bad mood. Just a real wicked craving. And I ate like a pig!

        Breez, Do you drink at all anymore? I still drink but I guess I'm just at a point where I'm acknowledging it's becoming a problem for me. I think part of the drinking/PMS thing is craving carbs and part of it is feeling stressed and wanting to calm down.

        Maxman, Ha! I can relate to what you are saying! My husband is bipolar and I drink more when he is manic, LOL!

          I drank more when I had PMS. I really didn't notice this cycle until coming here and reading about someone else who did the same.

          You will find there are a lot of women who drink more a few days before the onset of menstruation.

          Once getting through the first couple of months of being AF, my PMS has subsided a lot too.

            My Heart-

            8 months AF with one slip at 7 months (stress). Topa helped the first months. Now I have no cravings around that time. But I still eat like a pig!


            My hubby gets male PMS sometimes.

              Many of us drink because we don't want to feel our emotions ... when we are PMSing, we are on emotional overload and thus drink more.

                I totally crave alcohol when i'm pmsing. I've just been through it, dying to go out for a drink etc., but somehow got through it without a drink. Now, i try to eat instead of drink.
                One day at a time.. Sometimes it's one minute or one second at a time.. Most important thing is to look ahead and don't look back!

                    Yes, this would be be, I want to be numb. Maybe that's why the Kudzu isn't really helping me. I'm not so much craving as I want to "check out". I've dealt with enough in this life of mine and I don't want to deal anymore.

                          Hey Jude! Too funny:H

                          I never get bitchy, moany, no crying, just myself. I only crave food. So my drinking in the past were due to PMS cravings. Now I learned to satisfy my cravings in a healthy way. I no longer crave alcohol during that time.

                            Yeah, I guess mine are healthier now too. I just feel like grabbing the steak knives @ work whenever someone pisses me off!:H
