    Your best option, in my humble opinion, is to look at weekly totals. Save 200 calories a day all week. That is 1000 calories and drink real beer.

    Life is too short to drink bad beer.

    ^^^This! Bad beer is just hatin' on yourself. Save the calories or a workout session in the morning, but whatever you do, drink something you enjoy! IPAs like Racer 5, Scotch or Brown Ales like Kona Koko Brown are so worth the calories! Good luck!

    Hey i'm not a beer drinker, but i do love wine and vodka. Its hard, but I try to wait to my cheat day(one day a week). and for every lil goal, I reward myself. For every drink, I drink a glass of water. If you have to have one everyday, use the calories you earned from exercising. hope it helps.

    ^Amen to this!! I just try to make sure that my overall balances out. That way, I can just enjoy and not have to worry about it so much and can have what I like.

    Ditto to this. Also, I highly encourage drunken dancing and sprints in a field somewhere (hay bale races in particular).... it's fun and it burns calories :]

    I, too, can put down some beers!! SO, I switched to Miller 64 and Bud Select 55... Low cal and low cab. (as others have mentioned). I would suggest puttingt a lemon and lime in.....it makes it taste a HECKUVA lot better!! :drinker:

    I am partial to Guinness, very high calorie but also quite satisfying. I think it's a weigh up, 1 or 2 higher calorie nice-drinks or more lower calorie not-quite-so-appealing ones.

    I have cheats. I buy economy brand supermarket bitter at home, keep it in the fridge, if I crave a beer really badly I crack one of those open, if it's economy it's nearly less than 50% of alcohol and on MFP it is low cal. It fools me into thinking I've been "naughty" and I haven't.

    I also like to go out for wine, cyder or beer but I only drin one or two (or when I'm very bad three). Since I starte MFP I'm usually drunk after one wine so it's ok. I always stay in my cals though.

    Yeah me too. The more weight I lose the less I need to get drunk. Pretty soon I'll look at a glass of wine and I'll have to give up my keys.
