Does anyone else notice that they have a lot more photos of themselves with beer/alcohol when they were over weight?

    I'd guess that some are more comfortable with themselves after a few drinks and allow photos to be taken. I haaaaaated having my picture taken.. and I was a little less caring when I was drinking.

    Just a thought.

    Are you implying that only fat people drink beer??



    I will always drink GOOD beer, and have drank good beer for years, and at many different weights.

    If my picture is taken after 8pm, there's a 90% chance I have a vodka/soda in my hand. Doesn't matter if I am 150lbs or 130lbs.

    Wow... yep, I have to agree. Then again, not too many adults bust out the camera for goofy shots when they're stone sober, in my experience.

    It looks like you're holding a plastic cup, I don't think whatever's in it qualifies as "beer" :P :P

    No. I have more now.

    Ha... I was just thinking this.

    I think it's because I don't avoid cameras anymore.

    I'm just more selective of the alcohol I consume now. If I'm gonna expend the calories it better be DAMN good beer/wine...

    could just be me, was looking through photos of when I was 30+lbs heavier and just seemed to be time when I was drinking a lot more. Just thought I'd see if anyone else had found the same.

    Nope. I drink the same amount HOWEVER if I'm gone to use my calories it better be good! I have high standards for my beer! Budlight? Ick. Guinness? Yes!

    I definitely drink more now... but I am older than I was at my heaviest, so it's not as cool to take a "drinking pic" as it used to be.

    When ever I was drinking I tried to make sure no photos are taken. And if they are I'm not in a shot with a drink to my lips.

    I've never had a picture of me taken with a beer or other alcohol in my hand.

    Of course, I only ever drank occasionally during a brief seven to eight month period of my life that was before camera phones were the norm and people didn't just randomly carry cameras around. :)

    I do have a crap ton of pictures of me with water in my hands though. lol

    And a few pictures I've taken of a RC Cola or Abita Root Beer in my own hand. :)
