    Blue Moon is so yummy.

    Yuengling Light is good, doesn't taste watered down. Prefer Guinness or Corona(not light). My real obsession has been scotch. Took awhile for it to grow on me.

    I'm a fan of regular Yuengling as well as Guinness. I'm a whiskey girl. Love my Jameson and of course Johnny Walker Blue.

    I, too, love beer, wine, etc. I've been having a drink or two at night (more on weekends), staying within my calories, and am still losing weight / inches. (Yes, the Yuengling light is pretty decent... not as tasty as their regular, but much more flavorful than a Coors light).

    But I've hit a frustrating plateau for the past two weeks, and so I'm cutting the alcohol out for a week to see if it makes a difference in the weight loss.

    I agree that there is a possibility of it slowing down your weight loss, but I don't think it stops it altogether. Definitely don't weigh yourself the next morning after drinking though LOL!
    Actually, I tend to weigh LESS after a night of drinking because the alcohol causes you to lose water. (Hangover, dehydration, anyone?) I usually gain the weight back by the end of the next day, but weighing myself the morning after a good happy hour feels nice too :smile:

    I say go for vodka mixed with Fuse Slenderize...The vodka is only 52-64 cals per shot depending on brand...and fuse is like 10 cals for the whole bottle... That is 40% alc/vol 80 proof...get more of a buzz factor for less cals I be thinkin. If always heard if you are gonna drink, go for the clear alcohols...I rarely drink anymore...last time was Super Bowl and the time before that NYE...I didn't even have cake or drink on my Birthday...makes me too hungry! It took me a better part of a week to lose the extra weight I picked up from Super Bowl...and I felt sooo guilty the next day...that's when I decided it just wasn't worth it to me to re-lose the weight from it all the time! Good Luck, I totally understand you dilema!! I guess moderation is the key :drinker:

    I did the same thing, so switched to vitamin water and vodka. Actually, pretty good and fewer calories(depending on the beer)

    I found in a weird way that if I cut my caloric intake and drink beer instead it sometimes ends with more weight loss because you pee out so much of it quicker. Renting as opposed to owning if you know what I mean. But I wouldn't do it regularly and 8-10 beers no matter what the caloric intake is a lot.

    When i drink i seem to lose a bit more weight than usual, but i think that might be because i tend not to stop "dancing" when i've a a couple, and by dancing i really mean jumping about like a fool! So alcohol leads to me actually doing some exercise!

    I absolutely love cider and i nearly cried when i saw it was nearly 300 calories a pint :(

    Every Friday evening i'm going to have a 6 pack of Bud light. I know itt's going to put me over my calorie goal. I'm going to have extra snacks as well because i *beer* gives you the munchies. I don't lose any sleep over it and have continued to lose 1.5 - 2 lbs every week since i started losing.

    Problem when I drink low cal beers like the 55 or 64 cal ones is that I end up drinking double as they have half the amount of alcohol as miller lites....my favorite....I'm totally off the wagon right now so I'm not one for giving any advice on anything, just my .02 hahaha
