I always had a sweet tooth, even as a kid. Alcohol replaced that for years, then as I started to try and moderate my drinking the sweets came back into play. Part of my problem is simply sugar craving, no matter how I get it. I rarely drank to being drunk or sloppy but always had that difficulty stopping unless I ended the meal or the drinking with a sweet of some sort.
Conversely, I find that when I continue to indulge in sweets I am more vulnerable to alcohol cravings - one seems to reinforce, or substitute for the other. As a result I'm trying to cut all sugar and refined carbs out of my diet. Definitely not there yet though
