    It’s not only the beer but the less control one has after drinking..

    I have a few sociable drinks on a weekend, I fit it into my calorie allowance by doing IF 16:8 on Saturday and Sunday, having brunch instead of seperate Breakfast and Lunch gives me more calorie wiggle room for drinks or a meal out. I also try to get a workout or a hike in which also bumps up my allowance.

    Not to mention the cost! Yikes! $$$

    I love beer, too, and wine...and margaritas. Oh, I used to split pitchers of those things with friends. Once I started learning about calories and started losing weight, though, I couldn't do it anymore. Now I get a small margarita when I go to a Mexican restaurant, which isn't very often. It gives me the taste of it without having ti have excessive amounts, which was how I've learned to handle any other type of food/drink I love. I love 'em, but I'd rather have food for that amount of calories!
    Try getting one..sipping it slowly, and making it last awhile. No one will probably notice.

    Eat less during the week and save up those calories. And workout more. Keep the total calories-in lower regardless of how much you drink. I didn’t follow this rule this summer and gained 7 pounds since July! Stupid beer!
