    However, you know you have a platform where we will all praise your delicious combinations.

    Indeed! Best group on MFP!

    For those who may be reading this thread (in addition to OP) who enjoy an occasional drink or who sometimes get a little hog wild with the booze on a Saturday night, I'll repost what I posted in another thread a week or so back which includes a lot of good (IMHO) links / advice about making your booze work with your fitness and weight goals:
    I'm a drinker, and I enjoy it, but I am also reasonably serious about meeting my weight and training goals, so I am pretty interested in the effects of alcohol on things related to weight and fitness. Rather than get too wrapped around the axle I'll leave a few links that I think are worthwhile in understanding how alcohol consumption might affect weight and training goals from folks whose opinion I respect:

    Martin Berkhan's (LeanGains) take on it and advice: http://www.leangains.com/2010/07/truth-about-alcohol-fat-loss-and-muscle.html

    Meno Henselmann (Bayesian Bodybuilding) with an informative but sometimes tongue-in-cheek review: http://bayesianbodybuilding.com/science-binge-drinking/

    Alan Aragon: Interview by Omar on Youtube re: alcohol: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oBd4TqcBNgs

    And a T-Nation article from an author I don't know much about, but found interesting: http://www.t-nation.com/diet-fat-loss/lifters-guide-to-alcohol
