    i like vodka -- and vodka likes me.

    when i know i am going out on the weekend then i stick to the lower end of my calorie allowance during the week and then i can have a few drinks guilt free and not have to skip eating on drinking days.

    so far it is working for me.

    I drink good beer therefore I run.

    I've never cut alcohol out but just drink less than I used to. Takes me much less to get drunk these days anyway :)

    I went through wine school and used to write orders for beers.. brewed my own and cider, but I've never "craved' alcoholic beverages. It's just kind of like a nice addition. I prefer to go with darker beers like Guiness because they generally are lower in calories.

    I just started my attempt at jogging. I joked with my jogging partner that if we parked at the park we could jog 1 mile to the first bar or 2 miles to get to the 2nd. lol

    I am not giving up beer or wine, I think I was just making conversation.

    Why do you drink light beer? That stuff is garbage. I drink full flavored craft beer and just have one or two when I go out. Its much more filling and actually has taste.

    I can come up with 200 - 400 calories once or twice a month for it.

    Couldn't agree with that statement more. I try to make room for a couple nice full flavoured (not necessarily high alcohol) beers once a week.

    If I am going to have to add it to my pal and sacrifice something else for it I want it to be well worth it...

    Bourbon....mmmmmm
    Beer....mmmmmm
    Red Wine....mmmmmm
    etc., etc., etc.

    I just count the calories. So what if they are "empty calories." Count them and stay on track.

    Used to drink ten pints of beer a weekend every time I dj'd, you can imagine the amount of calories I built up over a time (10 years). It's been 2 weeks since I quit (actually, stopped for the whole of January) after realising the amount of calories it contained by this database. Love beer, had good times with it but I'm happy my liking for it is diminishing...have the cheeky vodka and diet coke every now and again.

    Can't argue with that comment, I think I should pour me up some right now...

    No but seriously if you are looking to get smashed tequila or some other hard spirit is probably the go because you are getting very few calories from anything other than the alcohol (1g alcohol = 7 kcal). It won't help you lose weight but gram for gram of joy you will get a decent bang for your buck from the hard spirits...

    I live in Italy...wine is obligatory on the dinner table. I don't think my in-laws would even come over if I told them no more wine, which is fine with me...I love the stuff. So, I calculate it into my max calories for the day or I Zumba it off the day after...

    That's total BS... My wife gained about 30 pounds the last time I had Tequila...

    Took her 9 months to "lose it", too...

    Definitely wine! I have managed to swap most of my food cravings for healthier options but nothing fills my wine hole :sad:

    I so know what you mean...

    I think I gained 10lbs drinking white russians on my honeymoon in the Bahamas. I think they must have nade them with sweetened condensed milk or something. lol
