Help me survive a stag do!?!???

JustinJoanknecht

So I have a stag do coming up and really really don't want to undo loads of good work but drinking is inevitable...sigh

I've already planned to stick to Guinness (relative low calorie, actually some tiny amount of nutrition, only 4.1% alcohol and impossible to drink too quickly) but any other tips?

Success at weight loss/maintenance/management is never about one isolated day, it's about how you eat (and drink) most of the time that counts. You're not going to undo loads of good work. If you really go crazy with the amount you eat and drink you might gain a couple of pounds of fat at the most (remember, a lb of fat would take 3,500 calories over and above your normal maintenance level).

I wasn't sure whether 'survive' meant tell you how not to get tied naked to a post all night.

Tbh, it's one night. Just enjoy it. One night is not going to ruin everything.

And let's face it, if you drink girly beers all night and not many of them at that, your fellow stags will probably notice and then you WILL get tied naked to a post all night.

all good advice I guess! it's likely to be 12 hours of drinking........at an average of 2 pints per hour that's gonna be 4800 calories...plus food.......OUCH

the thing is, if you're THAT bothered about it, dont drink... have 3 or 4 soft drinks first and alternate between diet coke & beer....

otherwise, go to the gym that morning to earn some extra cals and then just enjoy yourself, its only one night - just be glad its not 4 days abroad like my husband did!

I usually try to drink a glass of water between each alcoholic drink. Put a swirly straw and lemon in it so It looks like a Vodka. :drinker:

I have nothing to add except I had no idea that Guinness had so few calories. Win!

Have an amazing time at your stag, enjoy as much as you can remember about it, and watch out for cameras/camera phones.

I've done this (drinking water in between not stag). Talk about piss, literally
