    For some reason, my weight is almost always down after a night of drinking. I'm thinking it is because of the constant peeing.

    If you wanna lose the weight, you gotta make the sacrifices.

    Drinking goes the same with ****tttty food. If you aren't willing to make a significant moderation you aren't going to see any progress.

    Gladly I have no interest in drinking. Every blue moon, maybe, but VERY rarely.

    if you know you're going out, factor it in ....I'll have one, two or three. Find out calories and sugars before you go out and drink accordingly. vodka, tequila lower cal. whiskey, bourbon more sugar, I think. Learn to drink with just a touch of soda or grapefruit juice or touch,,,,touch of orange juice. You'll appreciate the liquor more and drink less. oh, yeah. vodka n tall water with lemon or lime always works. Buy better or top shelf. It will force you to drnk slower. you'll have one or two as opposed to any more.....

    I do a hard cardio session the morning of the night Im going out and then I try and eat properly the next day if Im hungover cause its usually while Im hungover than I eat everything and anything in arms reach.

    Remember, everything in moderation.......

    Count the calories in your alcohol, try to have spirits with diet soft drink or light beer. Burn off those calories dancing or eat a little less during the day. I go out most weekends and that's worked for me.

    Lift heavy right before you go out drinking. Or do a HIIT session. Your muscles will suck up the alcohol. At least that's what I've read.

    And to those that say you can't make progress while drinking at less than moderate levels, don't make that generalization if you have no data to support it. I did. I don't recommend it, but you can lose weight while drinking alcohol at levels most would consider excessive. I don't anymore, but I used to. I left for London last July at 206.4 lbs. I drank heavily every night for 4 days. Came back at 205.8 lbs. And heavily = 10-12 drinks every night (all tequila). And no exercise. So don't say it can't be done.

    18 in Australia too. The vast, vast vast majority of countries in the world have a drinking age is 18. http://www2.potsdam.edu/hansondj/LegalDrinkingAge.html

    Nah. Just don't eat on the days you drink adult beverages. Exercise is optional.

    DUH! (I am just kidding of course)

    This. Make room in your daily calories for what you want to consume. My problem with drinking is it makes me want to eat onion rigns and french fries and pizza...

    Same here, makes me want to eat everything greasy the day after. I have made small changes, Im making home made burgers minus the bun. So far so good.
