Drinks?

SafireBleu

15 to 20 beers a day is a problem. I think it would be best at this point not to worry so much about losing weight, but to face your alchoholism. You've got a beautiful daughter (or so it seems from the picture), I think you should put her first and get help to control the alchohol dependency. She's going to need you around a long time, but with the way your drinking that's not going to happen.

Well, it'd sure be nice if the OP could sober up and respond to some of this.:drinker:

I joined this site for motivation and support and all I get is ridicule...hmmm...thanks to all of you who stood up for me. Props to you. Although I dont know any of you, your amazing.

Your body will burn the alcohol off first and foremost.
So if you eat while consuming drinks the body will partition the macronutrients from the food mostly to storage while ridding the body of the alcohol.

If your primary goal is fat loss...dont drink!

When I started, I probably was drinking about 10-15 servings of soda a day. Way to many calories to drink. You will need to cut back to reach your goals. Also, make sure to log all the beer you drink. You will see how much it adds up. Then, you will need to decide do you want to fuel yourself with beer or good nutrition like fiber and protein. Good luck!

Oh boy.I'm so hesitant to write this but I'm going forward with it because I'd like to give you a few things to consider with out being hateful or judgemental. Here goes. If that truly is how much beer you drink a day it is definately inhibiting your weight loss, you're drinking a day's worth of calories per day. More importantly you are spending your days drinking an amount that would leave most people highly intoxicated, addicted and unable to function. Maybe you don't feel or seem drunk,maybe you've worked your way up to this amount and maybe you can function but if you ask any health or addiction professional they will tell you this is a big problem. You may think, I drink and that's no problem but at the very least consider cutting down/quitting as a commitment to your weight loss. My father drinks a bottle of liquor a day always has since I was young. He never appears to be drunk and functions normally. But I remember being embarassed of him when he came to my school smelling undeniably like alcohol,no matter what he did to hide it. I remember being envious of the money he spent on alcohol when the family was strapped for cash. I remember people talking badly about him and I not having any defense for him to combat them with. I remember friends of mine not being able to play at my house bc their parents didn't want them around a drunk. I remember financial troubles caused by his drinking and driving as well as lonely nights my mom and us kids spent wondering when he'd come home or if he would.My father does not behave like a bilgerant or drunk person, I honestly don't believe his drink really prevented him from being a great parent but the truth is that he is an alcoholic. I see you have a daughter and maybe considering the ways that your drinking may effect her will also help. I'm so sorry if I offend you in any way by writing this and I feel like such a concern troll right now but I just wanted to provide you with a little food for thought- judgement and condesending free. I hope my message conveys this. Good luck in your weight loss journey. Have a great day.
