I live in Norway, the age limit for alcohol is 18..0 -
I was told a beer is equivalent to a fatty t bone steak. Ths is very very fat! If you really need to drink go for a diet coke vodka. This is stll not the greatest but better then a beer.0

If it fits in your macros, do it.
Beer can be pretty high calorie, especially good beer, so if you have a little trouble with moderation, stick to diet soda and whiskey.0 -
Yes you should stop.....if you're serious about losing the weight. Alcohol will severely disable your metabolism. If you want to still enjoy a few, that's fine but binge drinking is not going to allow you to lose the weight. As much as it may pain you to do so, stick to light beer. And nowadays they have lower calorie vodka and other hard liquors. Bacardi is a good choice as it has no carbs in it.0

Stop at one or two drinks, and exercise more on those days.0

Why not just make a drink last longer? Rather than throwing back 2-3 beers an hour, only drink one followed by a few glass of water. Fun shouldn't equate to getting $h!tfaced drunk. JS.
I still have a few drinks on the weekends and during the week (case in point, 2 glass of red wine with dinner and STILL finished under my goal for the day).0 -
If you like drinking whiskey and you don't want to completely cut it out, mix it with a diet soda to help save on the calories and sugar intake from it but the best thing you could do is prepare yourself for when you do drink by exercising and eatting properly before you do.
If you are anything like me, the more weight you lose the less you will drink.0 -
don't eat, just drink.0

Yes, you should stop at least while you are changing your lifestyle and losing weight. Alcohol is empty calories. If you have no problem giving up alcohol for a while when you diet, you don't have a problem. If you can't give it up, even for a few months, it MIGHT be a problem that you should address. If you just don't want to give it up because it makes social occasions easier for you, that MIGHT be a different problem that you should address.0

If it fits in your cals then go for it. I tend to stick to dry wine or straight whisky or vodka though. I guess you could ruin a good drink with diet soda though and it wouldn't hurt.0

Yes .... But I can't .... And Dont Wanna either .... I always weigh 5-6 lbs more after weekend of drinking ... But it disappears quickly0
-
I just found that the calories in alcohol weren't worth it. It also weakens my resolve and then i'll eat more.I stick to sipping an occasional glass of red wine.You have to decide what is more important and at the moment for me it's losing weight.0

Instead of beer and whiskey, switch to wine and vodka waters for less calories. Just keep track of how many you have and make sure you burn those calories in the next few days.0

tequila is your friend.0
