Question: How can i get my baby to drink sitting up? My 9 month old has been feeding herself her bottles for 2-3 months now and can drink from a sippy cup but she will only do it if she is laying down. When she is up and moving she will go after her sippy because she knows there is something in it but she can't get anything out of it unless she lays down. I have tried to give her sippys at snack and supper time but she will not drink anything out of them. How do i get her to drink out of them when she is sitting or standing?

Answer: Maybe when she lays down she can get out as if she sits up she has to tilt her head back more she has hard time for the liquid to come out. She is only 9 months it's ok for her to have bottle i would wait till 12 months that's when bottle is taken away maybe by then she do better with the sippy cups

Question: Gave up drinking, but today want to drink till the end of eternity. what to do? Gave up drinking few months ago (it was getting out of hand), thinking about it, it wasnt that bad. But today ahh I feel like pulling my hair. The picture of ice cold beer in a glass, all the bubbles going up, keeps on coming in front of my face. What do i do today? I will be okay tomorrow but today seems like I am getting an attack or something.

Answer: Attack the problem hour by hour. Say to yourself "I'm not going to drink for at least an hour". Whenever the need comes on, say to yourself "I'm not going to drink for at least an hour". Always take things like this hour-by-hour. When you've been sober for a while and the craving comes back, you have to take it hour-by-hour. I've been through this so many times I've lost count, and the hour-by-hour approach is what works for me. I haven't had a drink for 4 years, and I've learned that you can't take anything for granted. If you have decided to not drink again, take it day-by-day telling yourself "I'm not going to drink today". When the thirst comes a'knockin', resist it for an hour at a time. Good luck!

Question: If i said i drink once a week 6-7 pints and always end up drunk would you say i have a problem? i go out once a week and tend to have a few drinks i always end up drunk i find it difficult to just have 2-3 drinks. would this this be classed as a drink problem?

Answer: Yes. Technically, this could be classed as binge drinking since it is all done in the space of one evening. Having a beer every evening while watching TV is perfectly acceptable because your body is being allowed to adjust to the alcohol & get is easily through & out of your system. However, if you have an evening out & bombard your internal organs to just under a gallon of alcohol it is bound to have a detrimental affect on your body & health. I'm not saying stop drinking altogether but just be more aware of how it affects your body.

Question: Is OK to drink up to 2 litres of milk per day? I like drinking milk and i drink up to two litres per day. is it unhealthy? its normal milk with blue cap im 22

Answer: My brother and I used to drink an entire gallon of milk per day (nearly 2 liters each) and we are quite healthy. We did it all through highschool. Physically in above average shape, rarely get sick, etc. It was whole milk too. I would say there is nothting wrong with it. I don't drink that much any more simply because I don't eat 5 bowls of cereal after school every day :)

Question: I can drink up to 8 beer and not even get a little buzz, why is that normal? I feel relaxed when I drink beer, and it taste I don't drink often but when I do I can drink a lot as much as guys that are older than me, and they are shocked that I can hold it. I don't get drunk. Is that normal?

Answer: You have a high tolerance to beer. And you might be leaving half drank bottles around thinking you finished them when you didn't. Anyways you must be spacing the drinks out long enough and eating between. 7 beer through the whole day is not a lot, if you are taking lots of breaks.

Question: When will my daughter be able sit straight up and drink from her bottle? She is 10 months old and can hold/drink from her bottle as long as she is reclined. But if she is sitting straight up, she hasn't figured out how to tilt it back to get the milk out. When will it occur to her that she has to tilt it back to get the milk?

Answer: probably soon, its all about co-ordination and balance. Try getting her onto a lidded cup rather than a bottle, she may find that easier as its wider and not so deep so she doesn't have to tip her head back so far.

Question: I have two weeks to lose all the weight I can; should I drink up my diet tea? Two weeks until school starts. I have been losing weight but I want to lose the most I can for the two weeks left. Should I drink up my diet teas? Will this only harm me? I am a jogger/about 4-5 miles each day. DIET TEAS, yay or nay? And why? Thanks so much, any help is appriciated.

Answer: Never drink or eat diet things. They use artificial sugars that studies show make people eat more (like salt does) making them fatter. Site below has sources. Good carbs like celery and carrots will never make you fat. Bad carbs like cake will, but you don't need to know the whole science of glycemic index and load. It is mostly NOT your fault, if you need to lose weight. The way we have been taught to eat is responsible for making obesity the number one health problem in the world (according to Atlantic Monthly magazine) replacing hunger and infectious disease. You need to re-learn how to eat so you can become thin. Not a diet, but diet lifestyle. Find out about fastest way to lose weight, gradual ways to lose weight, most effective exercise, good and bad carbs and anti-water. Lose bodyfat and retained water which also makes you a lot fatter (bloated). Links page has gov. BMI calculater to find out just how much overweight you are. Most important-- make sure to read the last "fat loss tip", first before anything else, to see the number one food that causes Americans to be fat. http://phifoundation.org

Question: Why does water tastes funny when you first wake up and drink it? Every time I wake up my mouth is dry so I go get some water, I drink it and it taste so nasty, whats the deal? Mommytobe, i'm not a child, i'm 21 years old.

Answer: Ummm, sorry to be the one to tell you, but there's nothing wrong with the water. Your mouth grows harmless but smelly bacteria overnight -- even when you brush your teeth right before bed, and even worse if you don't. With your first drink, that's what you're tasting. Get it over with quickly and you'll be fine. Yes, it does make your breath smell, too, with the same smell as what you're tasting.
