    Drink Guinness. Low in calories and tasty.

    This guy is absolutely right. Guiness is in the top 10 of low calorie beers. :)

    Not only is it lower in calories, it is heavier and will make you feel "fuller". :-)

    No it isn't. 12 oz has almost 200 calories. I'm not a big beer fan, but I do love dark beers, so trust me, I'm very saddened to find out Guinness and Newcastle, and likely other yummy ales, are high in carbs and calories! Let's not mislead people, even if we love these beers... :sad:

    I started getting MGD64 (also known as Miller64) or Michelob Ultra if they don't have the Miller. I was always a Bud Light drinker, but I don't like hangovers anymore so it's worth it to me for the switch to a lighter beer. I'll still go for the aluminum bottle Bud Light when and if they have it anywhere - but it's hard to find.

    Drink whichever you like the taste of best. Enjoy it in moderation.

    Shiner Bock
    Abita Turbodog
    Lazy Magnolia Southern Pecan
    Killian's Irish Red

    or whatever else.

    The main thing is, it should be something worth drinking.

    I'm from Massachusetts, so I LOVE Sam Adams.That being said... it's been proven that Beer is Bad for Bellies! You can tell when a man is a regular beer drinker because of his pot belly, big or small. I stick to flavored vodka, chilled.

    More absurdities!!! Proven? Where? Do you have any links/studies?

    Google says 125. If you don't like stouts, they make a black lager, too = 135 calories.

    Beer is worse than say, alcohol with seltzer or even a regular martini. It's the carbs and calories - they call it a beer belly for a reason. Dark beers are worse than light. And there are light beers.

    And soda and cream are fattening even when you mix them with alcohol.

    Whatever your favorite beer is, plan to get one, or heck, maybe two. Normal beers are around 160 calories. I wouldn't bother with the diet ones, gross.

    Log the calories the night before (or ASAP). Then you'll be able to work around it, eat a bit less for lunch, go for a long run to earn a few more calories... that sort of thing.

    Good advice!

    I try to log before hand so I know how many I can drink. Maybe eat one less snack for that day.

    Enjoy your night out!

    ditto!!

    I'm from Wisconsin. Follow the advice above and drink your favorite! And also follow the other good advice I saw...don't drink cheap beer!

    I agree - drink one or two beers, log them, and drink your favorites. You haven't drunk for two months - you'll be a cheap drunk anyway. :)

    My answer?

    Not sure about calories. Google's saying mostly 238, but one site says 175.

    La Guinitas a little sumpin sumpin great hoppy beer, the higher the alcohol content the higher the calories, but if you're only having two go for the calories LOL Whatever your favorite beer is, is the right answer. :)

    For the folks in WI, please send me Pearl Street Brewery oatmeal stout and bitter woman (I don't remember who makes it LOL but it was tastey)

    Perhaps it depends if it is from a bottle or on tap??? No, I hate most light colour beer but love dark beers. However, I'll have to stick with the red wine. For me personally, the sugar is just too high.

    Yeah, maybe. Could be pint vs. 12 oz, too. The black lager actually is a dark beer, though.

    Drink whatever beer you like best.
    But I recommend supporting the local micro-breweries in your vicinity.
    Generally the quality of the product is better and it supports the local economy.

    Here in Ottawa Canada, I get Beau's from Vankleek Hill, Ontario.
    I don't drink any alcohol anymore but it was my favorite and still is amongst my friends.

    Yuengling Lite is 98 calories. Yuengling Lager or Black and Tan is 135. That's not enough of a difference to bother with the light, in my opinion.

    ^^^This.
    :heart: me some Yuengling! I only get it when I am on vacation in Florida and I look forward to it every year!

    If you see me drinking a Bud Lite Lime or MGD Lite, it means I have been kidnapped and I'm trying to signal you!
