    Mmmm beer. I drink beer and wine but have cut back to once or twice a week to see if it will help with the weight loss.

    I just track the calories... I'm willing to work out extra for a few glasses of wine (& some chocolate).

    I gave up my beer, and I don't miss it. There are better, no-calorie ways to relax. :wink: :smokin:

    Alcohol is not just about the calories, alcohol has major impact on how food is processed by the stomach, intestinal tract and liver. Sure count the calories, but that is not the cost.

    I drink but much less than I used to and only on Saturday. I eat very little on a Saturday and not when I drink.
    Do you have a peer reviewed reference to support these claims? I'd sure like to read one.

    I will gladly give up chocolate, prime rib, fried, ice cream, cake, desserts in general...

    stay away from my alcohol!

    Then again, with my stash I can make;
    key lime shots, chocolate covered pretzels, apple pie shots, washington apple shots... chocolate cake shots,
    dirty girl scouts, chocolate covered cherry shots... the desserty list is endless, but I rarely do more than 5 shots on a Sunday.
    I have cut out shots for Aug. except the 2 I had yesterday on my road trip with my bff.

    I'm not a big beer drinker at all, but i do like my occasional glass (or two) of dry red wine.

    Same here. Only now I'm on a moscato kick... and that doesn't qualify as dry. :)


    I've heard about Moscato, but it's not my thing. The drier the better!

    I get on a kick and stay on it for a while then switch gears. My last kick was Shiraz. Before that Merlots. Before that Chardonnays. Etc. hehe

    Well, science has of course ignored alcohol and the effects on the

    gastrointestinal tract
    central nervous system
    endocirine system
    brain
    circulatory system

    and little or no evidence is available on the internet to support "these claims" , nor peer reviewed studies. It is almost impossible for people who drink alcohol to notice any difference in their body and mood, not even that headache, liquid stools, nausea, extreme mood swings which can lead to assaulting people nor any of the other things that happen to your body when consuming alcohol - but you need science to explain this?

    Lost almost 55 pounds and did NOT give up alcohol. I always tried to fit it in to my plan, but my biggest struggle was not letting the occasional night out alcohol calories to stop me from getting back to it the next day. If you need proof, my diary is public....and today was a BAD hangover eating day. Lol. (in addition to the rum calories last night)

    Life is faaaar too short to quit booze! ; )

    I just factor mine into my diary before drinking - work my toosh off with exercise if I'm going for a meal AND drinks and also bank some exercise cals from during the week for parties etc.

    Alcohol didn't do my weight loss any harm - but overall it has made me cut back a lot on what I used to drink since learning the calories!!!

    Vodka/bacardi and malibu are some of the best with only about 50cals per 25ml. Beer tends to be a treat and wine gets me too drunk so I tend to avoid anyway! :drinker:

    Hmmm. Grumble. I fit it into my calories but i'm still not losing. Going to try taking a month off (after my birthday) and see if it makes any difference at all.
