WTF: 5 lbs in less than a week???

How is it possible to gain 5 lbs in less than a week?  I have the answer for you.  According to one site, these are all factors in retaining water:

Regularly eating too much salt and/or sugar

Drinking excess amounts of alcohol

Not eating enough fresh fruit and vegetables

High levels of wastes or toxins in your body

Taking certain commonly-prescribed medications

Long-term use of very low-calorie diets, which tend to be deficient in protein and other nutrients

Food intolerances (similar to allergies)

Lack of exercise

The ones in bold are what I, of course, did this past weekend.  So it just goes to show….you can gain a shit load of weight by drinking.  I havent drank like that in MONTHS.  and i remember why now.  cause ive been so good about losing weight.  And have currently gone down 8 lbs.  Lots of work.  And in a matter of 5 days, was able to gain 5 of it back.  Granted, it will be easier to lose than originally.  But still.  Its just the point.  Drinking does NOT do my body good.
