Which beer is ok to drink?

Whatever your favorite beer is, plan to get one, or heck, maybe two. Normal beers are around 160 calories. I wouldn't bother with the diet ones, gross.

Log the calories the night before (or ASAP). Then you'll be able to work around it, eat a bit less for lunch, go for a long run to earn a few more calories... that sort of thing.

Good advice!

I try to log before hand so I know how many I can drink. Maybe eat one less snack for that day.

Enjoy your night out!

Personally...I would say that most beers are okay to drink....I don`t think too many beers are laced with cyanide or anything like that.

I`ve had the occasional beer since I started with MFP, I`m not completely disallowing alcohol, but I am really limiting what I drink. I think most things are alright in moderation.

All that being said, my two favorite types of beer are free beer and cold beer!

i would say if you have gone two months without it then why not go two months more and continue that.

Even though I like draft beer much better, I find I drink less if I order it in bottles.

I bloody love a proper cask ale or beer, so for me it all depends on what the pub has on tap. My dad's brewery does a lovely hopped lager called Republika that is gorgeous, and they're just starting to bring it into pubs. This past week I've been in Yorkshire, though, so I've mostly been drinking York Brewery beers if I drank one. Mmm Guzzler.

If I'm drinking a bottled beer, it's probably something akin to a Waggledance or IPA. Or Hobgoblin.

But being summer, I've been drinking cider. I love cider. Proper scrumpies, and fruit ciders, and *drool*.

But seeing as you're not in the UK, this probably doesn't help an awful lot Go for a local craft beer. If you're drinking a beer, you might as well drink a beer.

Ever since I've been on my weight plan, I haven't had any type of alcohol and its probably been about two months. My friends invited me to a bar and I would love to go because Im starting to get cabin fever. Im just not sure what to drink at the bar without compromising my calories and I dont want to go back to my current weight all because I didnt know which beer to drink. Any advice?

You can drink any beer you want, personally I'd stay away from the big huge breweries, as their beer isn't very good

What he said.

I am a beer drinker myself and my beer of choice is Bud Light Platinum, it's full flavored, more alcohol so I drink less to get the same buzz (137 calories) and it comes in pretty blue bottles! :flowerforyou:

Going to a bar one night with your friends isn't going to put you back to your original weight though so drink what you enjoy and then go back to your alcohol fasting for another couple of months. Good luck!

Cheers! :drinker:

I'm from Wisconsin. Follow the advice above and drink your favorite! And also follow the other good advice I saw...don't drink cheap beer!

Did you know there are approximately 150 calories in Fat Tire? For just thirteen more calories per bottle, and equally as accessible in a bar, you could drink something delicious and not made with ingredients that don't belong in beer.


For the record folks, if your beer contains more rice than barley, and isn't a sake or Great Divide Samurai, you're not really drinking beer.

Drink Guinness. Low in calories and tasty.

Stella ! Stella (Artois).
My favourite !

This is my fave!

Or just don't worry about it, drink what you want and dance the calories away! That's what I do

Go for a local craft beer. If you're drinking a beer, you might as well drink a beer.

Going to agree with this one. Make room and enjoy that beer. As long as you don't go crazy, you'll be just fine.

Now, this probably won't be an acceptable idea; but ask for a glass of ice. Pour your cold beer into the cold ice....it makes the one beer last longer and the ice keeps the beer colder along the way. And heck, if the ice melts while you're drinking than you're adding more water into your beer enjoyment. Just an idea....and I'll understand if you 'boo' it!

However, I never deny myself anything I want.... I just work it into the plan for the day! :drinker: :bigsmile:

none.....beer is yucky......drink tequila instead.
