Future tip for cravings: Sugar! I gained 5 lbs this Christmas, but it beats being drunk! (I'll lose the weight after all the Christmas festivities aren't triggering me anymore.) Someone told me that part of an alcohol craving is craving sugar. Alcohol has a lot of sugar in it, so eating something sugary like a cookie or some ice cream can help curb the craving. Also, I just like sweets, so it helps!
