I think that the advice was helpful, and it was just advice if you don't like it... don't do it. People have way to much time on their hands to question some advice.

I think its hilarious when I look up something like this and read posts from people on soapboxes just looking for audiences, please if you don't have something factual to add other than your own personal opinions, lets keep it friendly, the internet is not your own personal political outlet.. I was just trying to read tips before the wedding:)

cindyb, what's your deal? A glass of good red wine has antioxidants and is actually good for you. Especially in moderation and if you can handle it and know your limit. Chill out!

All the info in the article that was given is a good way to help a bride! Also doing things early and with time will help her not to be so stressed and a lil bit of wine or champange never hurt anyone and if you just dont like to drink...then DONT! And people keep the conversation about the article! Its really not that hard!

Yes, Cinybin could have used less emotion...but lets get serious...the "facts" she stated are true. This is not a saopbox...but it is a place for information. The benefits that they say are in some wines in no way outway all of the negatives...and then lets remember how many lives are ruined or worse yet, lost because of the influence of alcohol. Marijuana has some medicinal purposes that help people, but it is an illigal drug. Alcohol really should be an illegal drug too. I am shocked that bars, etc. are allowed to have a "happy hour"...that is beyond crazy. This is just encouraging bad behavior. I am sure that the people who drop by to those places after work for "happy hour" do not get a designated driver when they go home...it only takes 4-5 drinks in a two hour period to get past the legal limit to drive....facts are facts. Alcohol has ruined so many lives....it IS a mind altering drug. Can't you have a great time and "party" as you are, without having to alter "the real you"?...Sad to say, many would answer no to that question.

HILARIOUS.......the person who went on a rant against "toxic, mind altering drugs." and then tyhe carazy guy with the pitbull idea!! sacasm at its best right there (i hope it was sarcasm). anyway, isnt club soda the same as "soda"? having a wine spritzer or two the night before may bloat you. try sticking to a banana smoothie for dinner and nothing else but water. the banana has potasium which balances water and prevents bloat. also the idea for having five or six nuts is great just make sure you carry floss on you!

Great advice in this article, especially on the drinks! I was up way late the night before my wedding, drinking with my girlfriends. Got no sleep and had to fuel myself with a *gallon* of coffee the next day. Not kidding: I had to pee so much, my MOH actually had to run to a drugstore to get me an adult diaper to wear under my dress. No one could tell I was wearing one, but it kind of sucks to look at my pictures and know that in each of them, despite the smiles, I was sporting a peed diaper under that dress. This article definitely falls into the "read and heed" category! Also, ease up on cindybin: she may be a little heavy-handed, but she probably means well.

All of the comments are very interesting....I say, to each is own....unless one's behavior and choices has or could have a negative impact on the lives of others. Alcohol, drugs, etc..are in and of themselves not the "bad guy". People are. People make choices. If it wasn't alcohol it would probably be something else. All that said...interesting article. I wouldn't drink the night before at all because it interferes with sleep. But, again that is just me. One person.

Alcohol took the lives of my Mother at age 39, my Dad at age 64, my Mother's Brother at age 47, and both my grandparents, early. My Sister is on the way 'down' too. Praise God I have never had a drink. Jesus Saves!!

I would NEVER tell other people what is appropriate for them. It is a toxic behavior that affects every bit of energy in one's body, and poisons society. Controlling people who do this have had a higher rate of cancer and disease. But even if it were some kind of healthy advice, just the fact that people have a problem with a mind-altering drug makes them wrong. Others may have no desire to alter their minds with a psychoactive drug , but everything we breathe and consume have levels of chemicals in them. It saddens me to no end that people actually write this stuff, and breed, etc. It sets a terrible example.

Well since we are all sharing opinions here...I think you are all ridiculous. This was a lovely article meant to help engaged women, and even women hoping to become engaged. Whether you drink, or not has no premise to this article. Nor do pitbulls. The way people choose to celebrate is their own business. You people turned a few helpful tips into a disaster. You should all be ashamed of yourselves. Also, people who drink do not put sober people down for their choices. It would be nice if that same consideration was reciprocated. And don't call yourself God loving as you put others down. WWJD-not that! P.S. Jesus drank wine! In any religion. Know what your talking about before you spout off!

Sweet mother of Horus, What the hell is going on here? Cindybin: You are entitlied to your thoughts, just as everyone else here is! However, people have been drinking since they realized what crushing grapes could do. Wine and beer are not "toxic", but drinking too much is "toxic" Having a "toot" now and then or even a small glass of wine everyday is harmless! I'm sick of people rushing to asumme that EVERYONE who drinks is an alcoholic!
