in Food and Nutrition
Beer belly, Beer gut everything is done to make beer look bad.

Sure if you drink to much you get drunk and many nowadays are bad drunks.

However lets look at it as nutrion and calories.

One beer of 375ml is about 130-140 calories
This is the same as fat free or HiLo milk
375ml of full cream milk is actually 230 calories.

So guys everywhere (and a few ladies) maybe having a beer (occasionally) is really not that bad for you and you can keep within your calorie range.

O dear I suddenly feel a lot better. :smile: :laugh: :happy: :love: :flowerforyou: :flowerforyou:

    A beer is OK, but a half rack might be a problem. :)

    Anything (including beer) is OK in moderation :) It's the people who lack that moderation that make us look bad ;)

    Same here. I'd give it up if that was all I was able to drink.

    The yeast in beer is quite healthy for you, unfortunately for most beers, this is filtered out. There are only very few select breweries that leave it in and they can be difficult to find.

    I make my own beer though and never filter. The yeast has a lot of vitamin B, Chromium among other things.

    I think its based on the rankings of alcoholic beverages sorted by their ratio of calories from alcohol.

    Because "wine-tummy" and "spirits-gut" sounds ridiculous.

    Maybe try transitioning to proper alcohol sometime?

    I just don't like the flavor of hops, but thankfully I'm a girl and can just drink fruity girly things all night.

    Diet pop+ clear vodka is pretty diet friendly, a shot of vodka is under 100 cals and diet pop is calorie free.

    I don't think he was asking for advice...

    I just saved 200 calories for valentine chocolates, I can certainly fit a beer in here and there.

    Most guys don't drink a beer, they drink a 6-pack, therefore beer bellies.

    6 pack here is associated with a ripped stomach. :smile:

    Good to see so many others love the good stuff although in moderation.

    A beer after a good game of soccer is a MUST. :smile: :drinker:

    My ex drinks a 12 pack of natural ice a day....and gets the "beer munchies" and devours more in one sitting than I do in a day.

    Yet his BMI is a little overweight and mine is way over. :mad:

    Beer was one of the first forms of "safe" water because the alcohol would kill parasites that live in fresh water.
    People's water was diluted beer.

    That's because beer tastes disgusting. Wine and cocktails FTW! :drinker:

    Drinking any calories can always be considered "bad" or a "waste" Beer is full of carbs where as the milk that you suggested does have the bonus of vitamins, calcium and some good fats..
