Giving up wine has been the hardest part of Whole 30! That's probably why I haven't given it up ha... well I've only had it a few times, but it's the one food/drink rule I'm not following.
Giving up iced coffee was hard, but I just replaced it with ice tea. Wine is harder, because I don't really have a substitute for it!
Could you give up wine completely?

Yes, easily. I can't remember the last time I drank anything alcoholic.

Definitely. I'm not a wine drinker. Gives me headaches and heartburn!
Beer, however, is another story.

Yeah. I like it but I can do beer, cider, or the hard stuff!

Yeah. I've been pregnant 27 months out of my life...breastfed for 28 months so I've already given up wine for nearly 5 years! And probably will for another year of BFing. What's 60 more years?!

Yup, but not coffee! So glad it was allowed on the Whole30.

I will only give wine up for pregnancy and when I was breastfeeding on demand every 2-3 hours with a little baby. Other than that I will never ever ever ever ever give up my red red wine. Whenever I've gone on a diet that restricts alcohol, I never follow that part and I still saw results.

No way. I had a few small glasses when pregnant and only had a few sips during LO's first month or two. Now that I have it back, I'm much happier at the end of the day

I've been ok without wine so far this pregnancy, but ask me in a few months 
I couldn't give wine up when I did the Whole 30 either - that was the only rule I broke!

@Bookish: Haha, I had the same reaction!
DH and I are big-time craft beer geeks, and we kind of unintentionally stopped drinking wine, just because we like beer more!

Yes I could, I enjoy wine but could give up if needed and did when pregnant/nursing. I could give up alcohol all together although it would make me sad I enjoy my drinks!

I did, because I needed to give up all alcohol. I was not happy, but now it doesn't bother me at all.

Yup. I've been pregnant or nursing for the past two years and have maybe had ten glasses in that time.

Sure. I have a glass or two of wine here and there but I'm not a wine connoisseur or anything, plus I could enjoy other drinks. Although, I could relatively easily give up alcohol entirely if I needed to.
Don't come between me and my coffee though.

I love wine, but really didn't miss it at all when I was pregnant, so I probably could give it up. Now that I'm not pregnant I really should cut it out, it sure would save me a lot of calories!

Sure, and I do like it.
I went almost 2 years between pregnancy and nursing. When I finally had a glass again, it was kind of overrated!

Yes. I have a bladder disorder that really limits what I can eat - no coffee, tea, alcohol, chocolate, citrus, vinegar, or spices. Luckily it's in remission now, but I didn't have any of that for two years!
It really bugged me when people would tell me "they would die if they had to live like that" or "they could never do that."
blogger / wonderful cherry / 21616 posts
Definitely. I like wine but I've never felt like I need it.
coffee though- that's been my hardest part about the whole30!
grapefruit / 4988 posts
Yes. I didn't miss any alcohol while pregnant. I only like a few types of wine and I don't love the way alcohol makes me feel.

Beer would be harder for me, but unless I had a good medical reason I still have at least small quantities- no diet is worth that to me

Well I've given up all alcohol since I found out I was pregnant. I'm nearly 29 weeks now and just recently I've started to miss it.
