    Become female some studies have correlated alcohol consumption to lower BMI. Plus, beer makes your boobs bigger.

    Otherwise, I'll drink all the Corona for you.

    Just cut back. Unless 1 or 2 makes you have 10...then ya, quit beer.

    This. This is me. I love chardonnay, but it has too many calories. I only have it on my cheat days, and even then I will only have 3 glasses or so.

    Beer makes for a good recovery drink after a brick.

    decided to cut beer from my diet and its bumming me out but I don't see any other option

    unfortunately, beer was not willing to wait for you.

    beer went out and found a new group of friends.

    fun friends.

    friends who drink beer when beer wants to be drunk.

    beer no longer has your number in its smartphone.

    i'm sorry to break the news to you this way. :frown:

    I hear ya'! I live in Oregon and I love our microbrews a lot (which are way higher in calories and carbs than other beers.) I tried switching to "a glass of red wine in the evening" but that glass is usually at least 2 and sometimes 3-4. I'm going to have to cut back all the alcohols. Maybe have wine on weekends and beer once a month, start doing yoga and meditation when I get home from work instead of reaching for the pint or the wine glass, but my, the pint and the wine glass are mighty nice at the end of a long, stressful day.

    You are so lucky! Running is so much easier without beer.

    The one mile race I am in tomorrow will require I drink one beer for each 1/4 mile lap. I am not even a beer drinker so this wont be easy for me.

    Here are the rules:

    Is it wrong to want to follow this plan on my run in the morning?

    Switch to hard liquor. And drink it straight (because it'll take longer to get through a glass), or mix with a diet drink if you must.

    The main problem is to not over-eat afterwards (munchies). Drink a lot of water in between alcoholic drinks, and loads of water after.

    I am going out tonight so I purposely left myself enough calories today to cover three wonderful Orange Wheat's from Hangar 24!

    Now, I just have to avoid drinking twelve of them, and stay clear of the buffalo wings!!!

    (Easier said than done!)

    I was just talking about this with my friend. She was all like "Busch Light only has ....calories" and I'm like "I need a Mickey's" I think it's the puzzles. I can't give up beer so I make it work.

    I LOVE my beer.... if you enjoy a good beer, and this helps me, have one, with a high alcohol content that tastes great. the dark, thick lagers, stouts and porters have 200-300 calories, but they are FILLING. eat a nice sized salad/whatever and have one great beer that you can really savor. Dragon's Milk is my hands down favorite of all time, but it's expensive, dark, strong and has a lot of flavor, so more than one ruins the experience and I don't usually want more than that. And I can really down beer.
    Hope this helps :)

    Will you go back to drinking after you lose weight? I just cut back and only drink occasionally and less than I used to. Hell I had 3 beer just the other day and as long as I'm still doing some type of workout I don't feel bad about it at all. Good luck!
