How to Drink Less and Still Party Hard

It is a bit of an ongoing debate: "To be truly healthy can you still include alcohol in your diet?" Certain diet plans say yes whilst others say absolutely not. Once I found out I had PCOS I did my research and the same advice kept coming from all angles - cut out sugar, in as many and all forms as you can and, yes, this includes alcohol. The problem was, and this was probably a massive contributing factor to my PCOS in the first place, I am an out-and-out party girl.

An Evening at Teacup

Teacup is one of those absolute gems of a teashop that, come rain or shine, has people queueing out the door every single weekend. Located in the heart of Manchester's Northern Quarter, Teacup is cute and quirky without quite becoming a hipster cliché like many other places are in danger of doing these days. Although their vast collection of cakes and tea are some of the best I've ever experienced (keep reading for evidence of this) they don't just rely on their sweet treats and charm thus, therefore, excelling in all other areas of their menu too (I am still yet to find anywhere in Manchester that delivers a better Eggs Benedict). So once I discovered that Teacup were planning to begin an evening menu I grabbed my best foodie-friend Laura, and we decided to make a night of it.
