    Hmm, I'm trying to get all my friends on MFP... A few of them have joined me. I think if I party, I'll go out with them and we'll designate one person as the sober MFP Logger. She'll take our phones and keep track of our drinks...

    Could work... :bigsmile:

    Try vodka diet coke or gin and diet lemonade....basically a low cal mixer and then its only the alcohol that really has any calories :-) I think vodka has about 40cals a shot or something like that.

    For the past year I have dilligently logged my calories - and alcohol is a part of my life that I didn't want to give up. But, I only lost 30 pounds in a year....

    So this year, I'm eating clean which means no booze....or very seldom.

    I've lost a few pounds already, so hopefully I'm onto something.

    YES, LOG THE ALCOHOL.

    Definitely log it. Most people don't realize how many calories they are adding by drinking. In addition, be aware that drinking alcohol slows down your metabolism for the day you drink it and the following day. If you're really determined to get in shape, avoid alcohol completely.

    Smart plan... I'm trying to limit my alcohol intake as well... Trying to treat it as a special treat vs. a normal part of my diet.

    ALCHOHOL - a funny word has lots of calories and should be included! At 600 calories in a bottle of wine!!! That's lots wasted eh?

    I'm a lush...I hate knowing I drink my calories, I don't log my liquor intake (I should though, it'll be a sobering experience, lol). Its hard to gauge how many calories are in some mixed drinks though.

    I thought lush was a Brit term for pisshead... I'm impressed that Americans use it too :)

    Absolutely. Alacohol is basically sugar/carbs and should be tracked here with everything else. A few beers will push me right over my targets for the day everytime.

    I stopped drinking because I saw how many calories was in one shot of Bacardi Rum (68 calories per ounce) I can't imagine how many calories I could be consuming on one night out drinking.

    If you don't want people who read your diary to know you drink, just do a "quick calorie add" in the amount you drank. Alcohol has almost no nutrition value outside of the calories and carbs, so doing a quick add won't throw your macros off by much.

    Depending on what you drink, there are plenty of calories in booze and the mix. Plus, alcohol lowers metabolism by as much as 70%!! I like a few drinks every so often but in my January Challenge to myself, along with my exercise and food rules, I am cutting alcohol completely. If you don't log it, you are only hurting yourself.

    Yikes! Don't go out drinking on an empty stomach :sick:

    I earn my wine through excercise, you need the food cals.

    I log it when I can remember... ;D
    Sounds very familiar.

    Well, I don't like the fact beer has so many calories, and mostly I only eat my calories, but if I want to lose weight I need to know what's going inside. At the other side: when I go out and drink I dance and do a lot, so I burn some of the calories I don't log.

    It's most of the time more the fried stuff I eat after going out :embarassed:.

    Agree. I'd say at least 100 cals per shot...
