There is no such thing as a good alternative. Except cutting down on the beer.
This makes me sad face.
freaking LOVE that you said makes me sad face. haha0 -
I recommend a much more wholesome way of life. Cut out the beer completely, but if that's too much too soon just cut it right down. Focus your attention on other aspects when you're out socially other than drinking. It's sometimes more fun to sit back and watch others get off their faces than them watching you
No it's not Pete. That's just a damn lie!
BAAAAHAHAHAHAHA!!! It IS a damned LIE! I too am a beer fiend. I LOVE LOVE LOVE beer. I used to drink it every day...the good stuff. So I switched to Corona Light or Michelob Ultra. It was alright. And not as many calories. I give myself one beer day - where I drink any and as much beer as I want. The rest of the week, I try to be good. That's not usually possible. So I'll drink the Corona's on the weekend...and just skip meals. I know, not the best, but whatev. I love beer.0 -
I love beer... Insanely so. However, for several reasons, I've recently switched to only drinking Miller 64. Yes... it sucks and is hardly really "beer" but hear me out here...
1. You can still be social, drink, and have fewer calories in each 64.
2. There is such little actual alcohol in 64 that you won't make horrific take-out choices cause you're much less likely to get drunk in the first place.
3. You'll feel better in the morning. Perhaps even hydrated since the *kitten* is nearly water.
You asked for an alternative... that's all I got. Or, start drinking water and eliminate the problem all together0 -

Yeah, I rule pretty hard when it comes to talking gibberish.0 -
and if you drink light or low cal beer - it'll take a whole twelve pack to even start a buzz... I make sure to drink with people who won't gorge eat afterwards - then I only get the calories from the beer not the **** food after
Actually, that's a good point. I no longer grab a takeaway! I prepare something to eat at home before going out. Roast chicken or something, with far less cals than a KFC. That way I'm eating healthy after :bigsmile:0 -
So on a serious note, if I wanted to go out on a heavy night, would doing LOADS of exercise that day counteract it?
I mean, I'm guessing it's just carbs in beer right?0 -
Enter the amount of beer you plan on drinking into your food diary before you drink it then hit the gym....HARD. Stay at the gym until all the beer cals are worked off. Then when you go out drinking, make sure you only drink as much as you entered.0

Exercise enough to make up for it? Not saying that's an easy thing to do hungover, but... well, you gotta just make a decision.0

No I mean do the exercise beforehand.0 -
working out extra will help like calories wise but youll stillhave a gut..beer bloats you out I just have come to the realization that Id rather be a few pounds over where I want to be than give up drinking. Maybe when I am older I will try to be less of an alchie and be skinny0

Last year when I lost my first 20 lbs, I was drinking beer the whole time. And good beer. Clear beer is not beer. Its water. How? I ran. A lot. And I ate oatmeal for breakfast everyday. And snacked on veggies and fruit. And ran some more. I love running. Its best followed up with a cold pint with the boys. I was on a team that met at the bar and we celebrated a 5 miler with a pint.
Now I'm starting a new 20 lbs. I still drink beer. And while I stopped running over the winter, I've started back up again and plan to hit the 13 mile mark by December.
So, I think when I get off work tonight, I'm gonna hit up 4 miles and a pint. Yummy.0 -
I'm a HUGE beer fan! No light beers ALLOWED!!!! What I have done is just cut it out during the week and pick one day on the weekend to have what I want....workouts are mandatory and so is little food :laugh: I have problems the next day when beer belly rears its head....just plan ahead and make sure you have healthy yet tasty (makes you feel like your cheating) food in the house.
Don't get me wrong I like to drink PERIOD and have gone primarily to wine during the week. MUCH lower in cals. Fridays I'll have a few cocktails BUT beer only once per week!!!
If you want to see results you need to make some sacrifices. I know its hard, but it is possible to lose weight and get in shape without giving up everything you love.
Good luck!0 -
