I LOVE MY BEER. I live in Montana, and the state has honestly the most micro breweries per capita....not to brag
I used to drink alot of my calories too....honestly limiting my beer intake was one of the hardest things about losing weight. However, now I don't not do it completly, I just have one or two a week (down from almost one or two a night) and make sure I plan for the calories and/or work out of them. It certainly has cut in on my social life though Now I just try to go hiking or something instead with my close friends. But I do save the money at least.
If you want a GOOD dark beer, come down and check out some of the local ones once in awhile...might I suggest Black Widow (Yellowstone Valley Brew), or Oat Stout (Fat Jacks Brew).
Sorry, getting carried away...:)0 -

Learn how to nurse a beer.
Order a water for every beer and either alternate sips or drink a full glass of water in between beers.0 -
I love beer!! and beer is food right? Anyway for me I still go out to the bars with my friends but I alternate my beer with a glass of water. It helps slow down the number of beers I drink in a sitting.0

Since I'm not willing to give up my beer... it will just have to fit in... I LOVE BEER!!! :drinker:
Good luck to you! :drinker:0 -
oh, this hits close to home. I don't just like to drink beer, I also homebrew! I have definitely cut back, but I need to cut back more. so sad.0

Anyone with the same situation, what did you do? I don't want to just quit all together because I like my social life.
Ooooooh....this reminds me of a funny story.....
DON'T RUN HOME IF YOU HAVE HAD TOO MUCH. It can get painful...0 -

This girl loves her beer !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! and I refuse to give it up. Amen to all THE BEER DRINKERS OUT THERE !!!!!!! Just keep exercising and eating healthy and you should be fine ! CHERS !:drinker:0 -
working silly amount of hours drove me to drink more, it was an easy way to come down from work stresses, it became habit 8pm = beer time and anything from 8 to 12 cans a night would go down no problem, since i have quit that job the beer just aint so important anymore, during jan to june i will drink once a month at max,,, during summer once or twice aweek if it gets hot (england for you) then the crates and kegs come out, once summer has passed the drink goes back to max once a month until xmas then anything goes till jan0

I drink a full glass of water, then a beer, then another full glass of water, etc. So, I can stay and socialize for quite a while, and instead of 4 beers, I only have 2.
Oh yeah! I also do a big workout on my days that I want to go out, so I have extra calories to use up.0 -

AMEN, sista!!0 -
I dont think I would ever go over my calories if I didnt drink. :drinker:
Pretty sad.
I really try to budget for my beer and limit myself to maybe two at a time. Otherwise I would start gaining like crazy.0 -
I have to admit that when I'm planning on drinking, I save myself about 600 calories for drinks that night, usually by exercising longer that day or eating a little bit less. Since I'm planning on drinking tomorrow night, I'm just going to exercise an hour tomorrow morning instead of my usual half-hour!0

I've had 1 bottle of beer since Feb 20th and boy I miss it. That being said, I've lost 8 pounds and feel less bloaty.0

Cut way back. Only drink fine, flavorful beer and less of it. For a lower calorie beer that is still decent, consider Guinness.
Yes, this. I cut way down on how much and how often I drink, which really wasn't even that much to begin with but currently is almost never. But if I'm invited out, I'll just have a pint or two and not stress about it. If you drink a really good beer, you can nurse it a bit to enjoy the flavour and you won't be throwing them back like the cheap stuff (which isn't worth drinking anyway).0 -
Its tough! I do a beer vlog on youtube and we review some really crazy craft beers. Bourbon barrel aged barleywines and all that. I really only drink beer when I do the vlog now though.
Beers been the one thing I've missed the most.
Link to the vlog if you're interested.
