So I'll be having a drink this weekend and I know that means I need to come out of ketosis. I'd like to hear peoples experience of doing this as I'm a bit worried incase I don't actually manage to come out of ketosis and do some damage to myself! I have no ketosis symptoms so how will I know I'm safe to drink? I remember reading that a sandwich is enough carbohydrate to bring you out - is this true? I also don't want to go mental with the carbs as I'll be straight back to the diet the next day.
Planning on having alcohol this weekend...

I agree totally I'd carb it up your going to come out of ketosis anyway with the alcohol tbh it is dangerous & can be .
Although everyone is different I drank over the weekend with a 4lb gain 3lb of which has gone today already after getting back on it yesterday
I ate carby stuff though because I was drinking x

I too have drunk. I also have something carby. They warn that it can be dangerous to drink. I was a big drinker prior to diet and have had no issues when I have chosen to drink while on it. I also havent suffered the next day, but then I rarely get hangovers anyway :-S lol. Enjoy your social event

Feeling great in 2012!
Depends on how much you want to drink I think. If it's just a few drinks (3 maybe?) then I would come out of ketosis in the morning by having porridge / cereal followed by a sandwich or something carby at lunchtime. If you're planning on 'going for a session' I'd come out of ketosis the day before to be sure that you are fully carbed up before your night out (it's what I did when I went to a friend's hen do). I was quite a big drinker pre diet and now I'm much more of a lightweight (in more than just my weight ).

As the others have suggested, my worry would be getting back on it!!! When Im drunk I eat, and the next day I need hangover food!! Have a good time, but take it easy xx

exactly how i feel !!!! the worst ever hangover for me too
Thanks everyone for the great advice. I was quite a big drinker before the diet but I've become used to not drinking and really like not waking up with a hangover (or having made a fool of myself!) so I'm only planning on having a couple of glasses of champagne and maybe some wine with my meal. I was actually considering not drinking at all but it's going to be a big celebration and I'd like to have at least some champagne.

It's not just coming out of ketosis, drinking on a VCLD is dangerous. Please read the post in the below link...

i drank last weekend... as someone who can drink load s I was very surprised I couldnt drink any more than 2 large glasses of wine and a double vodka... (i ate on the saturday too)
I have also struggled very hard to get back on it although think this is partly to the fact I dislike exante... hence me jumping over to s&s now
