Title: One for the women here, maybe tmi
Post by: Poison_viper on January 11, 2012, 11:18:19 AM

Do any other women out there find they crave alcohol at certain times of the month?

I genuinely believe I do, I didn't realise it was happening at first, but I would start really craving alcohol, and usually within 24 hours (sometimes even within the hour!) I had come on. I don't usually crave alcohol at other times during the month, I fancy it at other times, but not like the really huge cravings I seem to get around my time of the month.

It's really quite strange! I don't have any issues with this, I just just curious to see if anyone else had similar.

I've known of cravings for all sorts of foods/drinks before women being due on.

My friend swears that she has craving for alcohol.
Me personally, it's chocolate

But it's not unusual from what i know

Just need to bear in mind that too much of it when you're on can increase cramps as you need to stay hydrated

I get really thirsty when I'm on and dizzy but never crave alcohol.  I go off my food though

I couldn't get my implant changed as soon as it ran out and so had about 10 weeks of "normal" hormones.

I had about a week each month of wanting to jump on any guy that smiled at me, plus constant craving of sugary things and alcohol.
Hormones=evil! lol

I crave carbs, spagetti on toast usually or crisps, mash potato... Plus all my nerves are on edge so don't want anyone touching me! Not good when I work with 20 2 year olds with no sense of personal space LOL
