    I was wondering the same thing myself so I looked it up online. It seems that beer for whatever reason blocks your fat cells and prevents them from being burned. A coating if you will. No thank you. I've really limited my alcohol content since reading this.

    . they have some good low carb/calorie beers now too

    I refuse to believe there are good light beers out there.
    Take any good beer and add water.....

    The problem with light beer is the don't even use good beer, they use crap beer and add water.

    Samuel Adams Light is about as "light" as I can go...just drink a Guinness....120 calories ;)

    I never met a beer that I didn't like::drinker:

    I have .... PBR or the Beast

    ...or Natty Light/Ice Ugh.

    Really, anything that has a canned version. I'm a complete beer snob and proud of it. For me it's craft/micro brews, mostly IPA's but I like to experiment with other styles too.

    Try canned beers from The Alchemist (Heady Topper is easily the best IPA I've ever had and it only comes in cans), Oskar Blues, Surly, 21st Amendment, Sierra Nevada, etc and get back to me on your anti-can stance ;)

    I had a canned beer recently that was good, a micro brew. I can't remember the name now but it was a little can.

    I haven't seen Sierra in cans around here. I wouldn't object to a good IPA in a can. Usually canned beer to me is the "big 3" crap that I wouldn't drink in a bottle or on tap either.

    I was on a cruise around new years and had a JW Blue Label King George V neat. It's the smoothest drink I've ever had, didn't even feel like I was drinking, I just got the taste.

    Loving that doesn't mean I can't enjoy red label or JD and red bull too.

    This is absolutely not true in any way. I've had beer every day for 2 years and have lost over 80lbs in the process.

    Yeah I I failed to mention this this is only true with access alcohol. 3+ 1-2 is actually beneficial with 1 being the most.

    um....I'm sorry, I was raised in a household that believed beer was a cure all, and I'm the ONLY one with a weight problem, and I drink less than they do...My grandmother drank at least a 6 pack a day until she died...at 99

    Furthermore, alcohol is the primary gateway drug to harder drugs with further ruin peoples lives.

    Because drinking beer makes me want to do some tar heroine.

    Yep, the ol' gateway theory. :laugh:

    Just hilarious!

    Well, any alcohol in general DOES in fact block protein synthesis (slowing down muscle recovery and growth)-- and the hops in beer are one of the most natural forms of estrogen you can put into your own body, so if you're a bodybuilder drinking beer is going to spoil your training.


    But personally I definitely enjoy a dark lager or most IPA's,. magic hat #9 is a favorite of mine, but then there's always yuengling black and tan, budweiser...

    so thirsty now :drinker:

    It INHIBITS protein synthesis by the fact that alcohol dehydrates you. So stay hydrated. Getting dehydrated without alcohol as a factor will cause the same reduction in protein synthesis.

    True. I brewed an American style Pilsener once, but i used all barley and no rice or corn, and it turned out to be really tasty. I used less ingredients than i would normally use with one of my traditional home brews, like an ale or porter, and it had the light body most cheap beers have, but with better taste.
