    Drink up! Account for the calories. I personally like Becks Light. Nothing like a good German beer, and only 64 calories...leaves room for the shots of jagermeister!

    I usually know ahead of time if we are planning on meeting up with friends for a few beers. I just plan my day accordingly to fit in the beer(s).

    I happen to like Chimay which is a whooping 265 calories a serving. So when I want one I have one but it is very very sparingly. (I think the last time I treated myself was a few months ago) and then I make sure I work it off the next day.

    I cannot imagine my life without beer. I just limit it.
    If I know I'm going to binge on it, then I will exercise before I drink. If its accidental (hahaha), then I count it, and sometimes, I will exercise the next day to make up for it.
    This is life. Its never going to be perfect. Stuff is going to happen, so you just have to roll with the punches and move on.

    I limit myself...I have 3 or 4 beers and count it in my calories...If I'm drinking that day I burn a few extra calories the day of and the day before. I will NEVER give up my beer...lol:)

    miller lite is 96 calories, Newcastle is 140.. I would rather do a bit of extra time in a gym and have a beer that I enjoy versus drinking typical American light beers. (my personal preference)

    Beer is my reward for eating right and working out hard. If I have the calories left I get a couple of beers! My rule is I can't have them until I work out. Total motivation!

    Ha! My goal is usually to have two a night. If I work out enough to get 3 then bonus!

    I am a beer drinker. I work for a beer distributor. Beer is a big part of my social life! I just make sure I work hard and eat right, and give myself plenty of calories to enjoy a frosty brew.

    This weekend I worked out like a fiend so I had 1000 extra calories saved up for Sunday Funday...it's all about balance! Work hard, play hard :drinker:


    ETA: I don't waste my time on silly beer. I drink beer because I like the taste. So if that beer I want is a full bodied 200 calorie beer, well, I better have 200 extra calories leftover for it! My beer of choice this past weekend was my fav summertime beer, Imperial...and it was soooo worth it.

    I am lucky enough to not feel the need to drink at all. If I do and I'm watching what I'm drinking. I do a Jack Daniels and diet coke for my hit.

    Exercise more - use the extra calories for drink - it works for me :-)

    I'm a home brewer, and i brew in the fall. I like drinking mainly in the winter around the holiday season. Water is my summer beverage of choice. That being said, i only have beer around my house for a few months a year, and only during the months where i expect to gain a little bit.

    This is tough for me. My boyfriend and I brew our own beer, so I have a tough time figuring out the calories as well. I just compromise and add more exercise for the day or don't let myself snack on the things I usually 'treat' myself to.
