Beer

Has anyone given it up to lose weight?

I have a fairly stressy job and hit the local most friday nights for 4-5 pints of guinness to unwind but this adds approx 1,000 calories to my intake. I reckon this wipes out the two one hour rides I do at the weekend.

Has anyone made the ultimate sacrifice and eliminated alcohol?

    Not initially for weight lost but for health, I probably have a couple of bottles of Peroni or Cobra every 2 or 3 months, I used to drink quite regularly.

    Since doing MFP and going our recently when I had a couple Peroni's quite a lot of calories in the stuff :-) Nice ice cold though.

    Yep!

    I used to go down the pub every Wednesday night, meet a bunch of people and usually drink ~8 pints.
    Not healthy, very calorific and made for unproductive Thursdays!

    Probably only have a pint a week at the mo - and the odd glass of wine.
