i went from 196 yesterday to 193.2... Prior to that I've been on a steady decline of approx .2 lbs a day.

Nothing too different in diet. But i did let loose and drink about 1/3 of a bottle of cruzan black cherry rum (YUMMY!)

Weighed myself first thing in the morning before water and before eating (as normal)

Does alcohol really dehydrate you that much?

wow.
 
Usually the hangover balances it out for me. The need for a Big Gulp of Gatorade and 2 hot dogs really kills me yet is the perfect hangover remedy for me.
 
i got sloshed last night as well, and was wondering the same thing. I haven't weighed myself yet today, I am still riding a wave of confidence from loosing 5.2 pounds this past week.
 
I have no specific idea but I generally am the same way

A long night of drinking makes all my water weight disappear and I end up losing a weird high amount of weight

Granted, it comes back when i drink water again
 
I usually experience the opposite; that alcohol shoots up my weight a few pounds from one day to the next. Maybe it's other facters, but I don't know.
 
it sucks almost every available water source in your body. The first morning piss is where you lose another 1-2 pounds. Damn, i hate that dehydrated feeling too
 
i am drinking some rum right now, hopefully I make it through the night with only drinking 8 shots. i put 4 in each large rum and coke zero. i am gonna have to do a few extra miles on the treadmill tommorrow to make up for it. 4 shots is 388 according to fitday.

I was always under the impression that alcohol makes your body retain water so you would gain weight no lose weight.
