Why is beer so good?

I keep seeing people saying to fit your beer consumption into your daily calories...I've got my goal set to only lose 1 pound a week but unless I'm drinking the ****ty low cal beer, MFP explodes when I enter in my beer consumption! Beer to me is like chips..you cant' just have one. On a Friday or Saturday night having 12 beers is pretty normal for me... I am only 26. How the heck are people working this into their calorie count!?0

First off, this:Beer is proof that god loves us and wants us to be happy. - Benjamin Franklin
So, about once every two weeks I have a couple pints of really good beer. And then in between if I want a drink I have a vodka and soda. But every couple weeks I indulge that love of beer and I refuse to drink something crappy like coors light.
That's my advice. And a side note, if you are using the 80/20 rule for your health & fitness ideal plan, you are gonna do pretty good and you are gonna have a way easier time sticking with it.0 -

By not drinking 12 beers at a time? Stick to one or two good craft beers instead. Quality over quantity. If I'm gonna drink more, I adjust for it with my diet and exercise to limit the damage.0 -

Quality over quantity! One does not drink 12 oatmeal stouts! That and 2 years of working on boats and not being able to drink much has killed my tolerance. And hangovers at 27 are way more horrible than hangovers from 21-26!0 -

You can have beer, just have less. I try to only drink one per day if necessary to have one at all. I know if I can do it, then you can. Because I love beer so much that I started making my own.0

I hate beer but LOVE white wine, which has just as many calories and it's very difficult to stop at just one glass. I have cut down a lot and probably only drinking one bottle over the week, compared to 3 or 4!0

Hmmm. Quality over quantity you say... I should give this a try. Although I find it difficult to limit myself to just a few once I've had a few and when I'm at a party or function where alcohol is being served. Guess that's my age showing...0
