Beer = GROSSS
Honest

We must not be talking about Guiness.

Bleh...last week someone made me take a carbomb with guiness....SOOOO nasty
ewwwwww
sorry I am just not a fan lol. Give me rum, give me Whiskey and I'll be fine....actually no dont, I cut it out! lol

vodka. nuff said

My problem is simple.

I can't just drink 1-2 drinks. I will drink 8-9 and like someone said above...I stop caring about the diet.

I am going to a bar tonight for a friends birthday. I plan on not drinking at all

well yeah you live in new orleans, every time i been there i drink so much i wake up naked next to a dead animal with blood on my mouth, and not remember a thing.

omg thats so wrong....


anyways....I have found that I have to just obstain, because it's hard to just have a little. You will still have fun while sober! I promise. In fact, when I used to party, I would offer to be the DD sometimes because it was so much fun to laugh at the drunk people

It is very hard...I can attest to that

i only drink vodka and diet coke, i've been lucky so far because of exams i've not been out drinking bu ti'm going out for easter this weekend, i''l try and hold back though, not have to many. My problem is that i'm really shy so i tend to drink when i'm out to make me more comfortable dancing e.t.c.

I was a die hard beer drinker for the longest time. Hence, the 300 lb frame, lack of exercise, etc. Since starting my journey toward a healthy lifestyle, I have cut off the beer completely. I have to admit, it doesn't bother me at all. I agree with the others.....coming home at 1 a.m. drunk, makes pizza, chips, etc. look entirely too good. I'm not going to let alcohol make my decisions. I wish you the best my friend.

Hiya,

Was hoping for different peoples opinions on alcohol and weight loss?

Do you still drink it? How often? Have you restricted the type/amount you have?

I dont want this to just be a diet for me, I want it to be a real lifestyle change forever, and so, that has to include alcohol.

So, any tips on the 'best' things to drink, and it what sort of quantities to not totally counteract my new food habits would be fab

it's really just one more bunch of calories to factor in to your day...

should a person sacrafice food for alcohol? I'd hunt them down and kick their butt for doing that -not to mention get them an invite to an AA meeting...

the real problem with drinking is the moderation that some people don't have.. and thatlack of moderation can lead to eating bar food

drink what you like - but pace yourself... and make every other drink seltzer or something non alcoholic...

My soapbox is that it concerns me when people drink to get drunk - drinking is find as part of socializing, but when getting drunk is the constant result, there's a problem...

I will have the occassional glass of wine or guiness.. but I prefer food to drink.. so I don't want to waste my calories on booze.. I'm cheap like that

Hiya,

Thanks for the reply

I guess everything you said makes perfect sense. Thankfully, Im over my binge drinking, blind drunk nights out on the town, just not my idea of fun anymore!! But sharing a bottle of wine with friends on a weekend is something that Im not happy about giving up, so yes, your right, the wine can stay, in moderation

I drink a glass of wine almost every night, and it certainly hasn't hurt my efforts. Of course it's limited to a single glass.

I still drink occasionally (im only 19 lol, but still.....it happens) I just dont get the girly mixed drinks anymore cause they have way too much sugar and added calories. I prefer wine or shots of the good stuff (no cheap tequila) because those are easier to watch the caloric intake. I'm not a big fan of beer which is probably good because you typically drink more beer than you do wine or shots. Its all about moderation. Like I said I only drink every once in a while and I just consider it a cheat cause it is added calories, but as long as it is moderated I think its fine.
