Today, I feel like having beers...

Do you ever have those days when you chuck the diet out the window and say 'Today is one of those days that I need several beers'? Don't want to get drunk, just a few beers.
It's not necessarily depression or a party, just need to relax and have a few cold ones...
I dunno, just where I am today

Completely get what your saying. And I do it every now and then. And it's so worth.
Cept I'm not a beer drinker so it's wine for me. Lol2 -
I really don't see a problem with that. What kind of beer are you having?2
-
So have them. This isn't some kind of deprivation diet. This is real life. Drink your beer and log them.1

I'm drinking Kentucky Bourbon Barrel Ale... I like dark, fuller body beers, ales, Porters and stout. How about you, Miss Chievous?
What kind of wine, mmultanen?
What's everyone else drinking?0 -

So, why not have a beer or 2 that fits into your calories?
I drink Bud Select 55 when I am in the mood for a cold one. Only 55 calories a bottle.1 -
LyndaBSS - I do... the trick is to not have too many days like this! 😉1

@ShowProgress521 I've been to that distellery and sampled that beer! It's great!
I'm a dry wine drinker. Do not like sweet. So in the summer I like a Sav Blanc and when it's not a hundred out I'm happy with a red a good Malbec or a pinot noir isn't ever turned down.1 -
Pretty normal impulse in my world. Just do it, enjoy it and go back to your regular routine tomorrow. Cheers!
Agreed on the dark ales, @ShowProgress521, but I like most types of beer. Usually change it up from one glass to the next. For wine, I like 'em dry - I prefer Malbec if it's on the list.
And lately I've been on this rye whiskey kick - Bulleit, Knob Creek or Wild Turkey Rye - neat or on the rocks.

@mmultanen I need to go to that one! The Bourbon Trail starting me drinking bourbon... never did until I visited Maker's Mark, Heaven Hills and others.
I like dry too but I'm a red wine fan. I like cabernet sauvignon, merlot and occassionally chianti. A chilled dry chardonnay with some dry cheese is good too.1 -
@alteredsteve175 lately, I've been partial to Buffalo Trace
God, I sound like an alcoholic here... honest, I don't drink that much anymore! 😬0 -

Heard that. HAHA!
That Buffalo Trace is good, too. I ran across the Wild Turkey Rye in a local liquor store. The 80 proof is very smooth and you can have a second one if desired. Worth a try for those that like rye.
And there are so many choices nowadays in beer and booze! No way anyone can try them all.1 -
@ShowProgress521 I am not a giant fan of bourbon but I do some work in Kentucky so I visited a few places and learned a ton. It was really cool and I did learn I love Makers 46. Lol1
-
Its cool. Sometimes taking care of ourselves is eating clean and going for a run and other times it’s having a beer and relaxing. You know what you need.5
-
Yup. Not so much beers per se, but a gin and tonic or two or a couple of martinis or some wine. So I do. The way I look at it - it's better than gobbling down a bag of chips or a box of cookies or whatever. At least I hope it is - LOL....1
-
@mmultanen I agree on Makers 46. Have you tried Angel's Envy or Buffalo Trace? Both are smoother bourbons than most IMHO. I'm in Indianapolis but go to Louisville for business so I sample the wares of Kentucky's finest industry.
@CoffeeAndContour good advice!1 -
@cbstewart88 here here! LOL0
