    Drink whatever you want, just make sure it fits your calories for the day.

    i drink what i want to, and let it reflect on my charted outcome. usually im fine.

    This.

    Look into my diary- most of my crazy high calorie days have been the result of getting drunk on stout beer, which is extremely fun and tasty. But, alas, it got me where I am today :( I'm starting to choose wine and whiskey more, thanks to MFP. I will never, ever drink crappy beer for the sake of fitting my calories.

    And, yes, the food that goes along with drinking is a killer too! Good luck!

    RUM!

    That being said, the rum is usually gone at my house (big surprise there) so this weekend when I wanted it I had some ale, fit it in my calories and it seems to have worked out.

    Lately, I've been drinking Straw-Ber-Ritas and they're delicious. They're 220 calories a can but they're packed with flavor and alcohol. Pour it over ice and relax. Mmmmm.

    Why isn't it in your diet? Wine is sure as heck in mine! I just make sure it fits into my calories and reconcile myself with the fact that I'll feel like a bloated cow the next day and I'm good to go.

    Not sure about low cal beers since I'm not a huge fan. When I do drink it, it's Dos Equis. Because I'm the most interesting dieter in the world.

    My go-to is Michelob Ultra. I like Yuengling Light too, but I don't know of a bar that carries it.

    I'll drink Coors Light or PBR if it's on special for $3 or less.

    Kaliber is the Guinness non alcoholic but is often hard to find. It's worth drinking over regular alcoholic beers any day. Actually, if beer isn't made by Guinness, it's hard to call it beer. but there's no accounting for taste.

    Guinness. 125 calories in 12 ounces. Good beer, too. :drinker:

    beer makes you fat and stupid. Your choice, any beer is to much beer

    Capital B, it's 'too' and you need a full stop. ;)

    There are actually MANY beers already on this website. Factor them into your intake and enjoy! Mind you the alcohol in beer comes from fermented sugars. There is always a residual amount of sugar left in the beer hence the higher the alcohol the more calories. Personally I'd just save them for my cheat day and all bets are off, some of it may not stay down anyway. :laugh:

    This :P

    My hubby homebrews...I have developed an aversion to anything other than craft beers (which do have some actual nutritional benefits). I have 3 or 4 a week sometimes. . .especially in the hot weather we're having. Cold brew on a hot night. Ahhhhh.. . .I don't drink to excess so 1 or possibly 2 beers won't wreck my eating strategy!!

    I make sure to only have beers on days I workout; high carb days. And I'll only have the best, most thickest ales. FAWK that watery shish.

    I read somewhere the Guinness is the lowest calorie full flavor beer which is fine by me! I also found an Oatmeal Stout at my local market that's 150 cals for the whole 20 oz bottle. I pour about half of a bottle in a pint glass (almost full) and enjoy it. It's usually enough for me and I enjoy the other half the next night.

    Pick a really amazing craft beer that packs a massive flavour punch. They may be a bit higher in calories but you can savour and enjoy it and thy tend not to go down as quickly as mass produced beers that have a flavour resembling water. If you are in the US you are probably spoiled for choice of micros.

    Side note: if you pick a dry white wine it won't have much sugar.
