There is no alcohol police on MFP (Thank God). Of course you can drink...but you have to decide if you want to splurge your calories on. It's a no brainer for me, there will not be a week without wine..EVER0

I have a glass of wine almost every day - just make sure you log the calories from it!0

There are no rules!
Just log it, and glug away0 -
count it. make it fit. move on.0

You make your own rules...and change them whenever you like!
No way could I give up alcohol, I enjoy a drink most nights.
Enjoy your Friday nights!0 -

this.
you are allowed to do whatever you want...just make it fit in your day.0 -
When I drink, I make sure I account for the calories by either working out a little extra or by having a different snack to make sure I don't go over my daily calorie allowance.0

getdrunknotfat.com is a great resource for low calorie drinks!
I used to drink a lot. Well, I still drink a lot too (haha)
But I am now much more conscious of the sugar in the mixers! It is the juice and soda that go with the alcohol that really make the calories add up. I usually drink things as a shot or on the rocks. Occasionally with seltzer or other very low calorie mixers, crystal light, mio, coffee, tea...
Vodka + sugar free red bull! Use the extra energy to go dancing and burn off some calories~ hehe
Just make sure not to drink so much that you lose the ability to say no to late night cheesey nachos. :P0 -
I would say avoid the beer and the red bull. Beer isn't worth the buzz when you think about the carbs and the calories involved. Red bull, I just wouldn't mix with vodka because both are diuretics. Plus energy drinks, plus weight loss just don't really mix. Weight loss for a lot of people ( I don't necessarily know if it is true for you) is attained through clean eating and exercise, and red bull is pretty much the antithesis!
Vodka itself is about 65 cals for every ounce you have. I would go with something like crystal light, or even club soda with a lime twist! Or lemon! That way you can still enjoy the buzz, and the night (Dance your face off, great exercise!) and the next morning, when you step on the scale you won't regret the night before!
But as others have said, if you log it, and account for any overages.. Party on! Excellent!0 -

I can't! I'm sorry! It's just my opinion!0 -
What does the court order say? Or your parole officer? Or your doctor? Or your sponsor?
If you don't have any of those to ask, and we're going to assume you are of legal age for wherever you live, then if you can fit it in, go for it.0 -
I read that title "am a loud drunk"...
my apologies. Have a good thread.0 -
OMG SHUT UP AND ADD ME ALREADY!0

I'd be in trouble without beer night, but get drunk not fat is a useful webpage. Just to play devils advocate here: bob harpers books mention that alcohol may slow down your metabolism a bit, but I don't think that was reason enough to throw it out, just moderate. He also talks about the obvious that drinking too much will make it hard to keep your food choices wise.
Tonight's a scotch night I think.0 -
There's a typo there somewhere: Are you a loud drunk, or are you allowed to drink?
I don't know about the first one, but yes, you are allowed to drink. Just fit it in your calorie allowance.0 -

trogalicious wins the internet
there are no 'rules'. thats absurd. i love me some friday night beers. just count the calories and the carbs.
vodka soda is a fairly low cal drink, or rum and *diet* coke... make sure its vodka soda not vodka tonic. soda has 0 cals. tonic has 100!0 -
I definitely still drink, I just calculate it into my calories before I have it. I like vidka and soda or sugar free pop/juice.
Remember that it can be tough to say no to bad food when you've had a few drinks, and if that is an issue for you then you may want to cut out drinking.0 -
I have happy hour every 2 or 3 fridays, which is the only time I drink. It's fine. I just workout every friday morning to account for the calories late in the day. I stick with micro brews.0
-
I have a few every few days. If not more.
And don't hate on it but it works for me.. prob not too healthy for me but I drink vodka and coke zero or diet.
So I just put in my vodka calories.0 -
It's just like any other source of calories. If it fits your macros, go for it.0

Now this made me LOL0 -

Hey :-)
If you're only doing it once a week and you are hanging out with friends and being happy, which lowers your stress levels!!
then enjoy yourself sweetie! Tht can be counted as your cheat day!
I have at least one cheat day a week ...sometimes 3!!! LOL!
life's short! You'll meet your goals! Just make smart swapportunities!
instead of something terrible for your body, switch in something healthy!
I wish you the best of luck in life and weightloss!

MFP is just a calculator...it's just a tool...it is not a program with a bunch of rules and what not. You simply use the tool to track your calories and your macros if you like. People here are on all kinds of different plans...just using the tool to track their intake.0

hell yeah, drink your face off
and get as LOUD as you want to.0 -
you are ALLOWED to do anything you want. just be honest when counting the calories.0

Hi!
I need to change up my daily routine ...I am currently exercising about 4 days a week, I try to add one exciting thing to do with my 7 year old daughter on Saturdays!!! Last Saturday we went rollerskating!
I diet, low carbs, about 2 cheat days a week....hit a plateau!
Any suggestions??
