I have never liked alcohol much so I don't drink instead I would always have iced tea or a soda of some kind. I have found that since doing qigong and especially since the October retreat I no longer want to drink sodas. I used to have one a day at lunch and on rare days I would have a second soda. Now, I prefer to drink water.
Also, I really like Iced Tea and hot tea but have found myself chosing to drink Green tea (both iced and hot) as often and sometimes more often than black tea.
I don't crave sweets much any more and find that a couple of bites of a cookie is enough and it tastes too sweet. This is true for ice cream and chocolate too. There are even some fruits that taste "too sweet" after a few bites...like pineapple which I love.
The other factor that I find really interesting is that the amount of food I want to eat has decreased. I get full feeling quickly. So I am finding I enjoy "lighter" foods such as salads more frequently or I only want one half of a sandwich.
Sorry this post is not about alcohol specifically but there are some of the changes I have experienced around eating since begining to practice SFQ.
