    White bacardi & diet coke - this is my drinking staple! 1oz of bacard - 70 cals, diet coke - 0 cals.

    And not that this is a diet tip AT ALL, in fact I have NO idea why it happens but when I go out drinking (as long as I don't drunken munch) I ALWAYS lose about 2 pounds the next day... wtf is that about lol.

    Me too!! Its so bizarre! I spent 2 weekends ago on a drinking trip with a little bit of skiing and last weekend drinking both weekend nights and I've lost 7 pounds (more than an average 2 weeks when I've been trying to lose weight)! I've been burning 1000 calories 3 days a week but I feel like that's not even close to the amount I've splurged.. weird! I'm definitely not going to make it a habit though- I guess I just lucked out the past two weeks!

    Most spirits are fairly low cal, whiskey,vodka etc...but allow at least a few days before you weigh yourself and drink plenty of water the days after. Alcohol will cause you to retain loads of water, so the scale might show a gain of a few lbs the next morning, but its normally just water which will take a few days to flush out.

    Ben.

    What??!! Alcohol is a diuretic! And, it not only increases subcutaneous fat when drank in excess but also visceral fat, and in in your belly. The water retention doesn't come until you screwed your liver up and suffer portal hypertension. You have a very miserable death ahead when that happens.

    Only what I read! lol
