    Hi, I'm kind of new on Mfp, this thread caught my eye... Something about booze? It's been somewhat lonely trying to cut back on the beer calories :/

    Yes, the booze is the toughest thing to quit. And someday, I'm going to really try hard!

    Call me dumb....I give you permission; but BYOB? What does that mean? I am guessing - Bring your own booze? - but I am just guessing from the posts.....

    Wine and beer here........hell, if I didn't have them I wouldn't make my calories!

    I am assuming this thread is full of refugees from the Nutrisystem forums. Is that correct?

    I was never a BYOBer, but am a fellow NS refugee. Nice to see some familiar faces!

    It was nice to get some notice, so we could get an idea of where everyone was going before the actual boot happens!

    @dufus12 It's definitely confusing with so little explanation in the OP. Here's the best that I can figure out from watching the boards lately. There is a diet system out there called Nutrisystem (often abbreviated as NS). They had message boards similar to the message boards here at MFP, except that they seem to have had cliques or groups or school houses of some kind. BYOB seems to have been one of those houses (I like to think of them as the Hufflepuffs, myself, since I have no context at all here). Those Nutrisystem (NS) boards are closing down and many of the posters are coming here and setting up their houses so that they can still talk to their friends. And thus this topic was created! Now, hopefully one of the BYOBers can fill in whatever holes or misinformation I've included in my post :drinker:

    It's never a party unless you have bourbon! That's my drink because little to no calories depending on the brand. :)

    Bourbon has calories, just like other liquors.
    Bourbon, like other 80-proof spirits, contains an average of 97 calories per 1.5-ounce shot, according to the National Institute of Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism.

    Again, depending on the brand. The brand I drink only has about 15 calories per ounce.

    That is some pretty watered down bourbon since only being 15 kcals per oz would make it slightly less than 10% abv.

    What is the brand name? Can I buy it in Canada? Oh I'm bringing my bottle of screech btw :wink:

    Dianne, that's about the size of it. Lots of NS users just found this board and will be making themselves at home here.
