I absolutely look better after getting sober. In fact, last week I was at a business meeting, my VP came up to me (I hadn't seen her in about 6 months, and was still drinking when I'd seen her last) and said she didn't recognize me b/c I'd lost so much weight. Now, I exercise, watch what I eat and have lost a couple of pounds, but I think it's the bloatedness that has gone away.
For me, beer made my body a water retaining machine! Puffy, bloated and a downright polluted system.
I love being an athletic alcoholic! (non-practicing of course
)
