So i like to drink on the weekends but beer seems to sabotages my weight loss efforts. Should i just try not to drink or is there something i can drink thats not as bad?

I'm gonna drink tonight...and tomorrow night...and eat healthy the majority of the time otherwise. I like beer; there are a lot of bevvies that are lower cal that I don't like as much.0

Drinking (sometimes in excess, to put it mildly) has not hindered my weight loss. I generally stick to rum & diet coke, or light beer.0

vodka... mmmm... :-)
I prefer Stoli - 69 calories per ounce, 0 everything (except alcohol)... and I mix with diet iced tea...
Here is the nutritional info:

I still drink on the weekends. I just calculate my calories in. If you drink beer, I would suggest the Select 55, just 55 calories! I'm a vodka drinker myself, I like the Cherry UV, and I know that 1.5 oz is 90 cals, so I mix that with Diet Coke...
I did find a 0 calorie margarita mix also, so a shot of tequila is 100 cals...just to give an idea.0 -
IM going drinking, Just going to work out extra hard. Just keep it light, Vodka & Soda with a Lime.
NO Beer or Sugary Drinks!
BUT Alcohol DOES slow your metabolism, so maybe a weekend here and there NOT drinking wouldn't hurt just to see HOW much it affects you!0 -
I plan on drinking tonight as well. My Friday ritual! So far it hasn't hindered me too much!0

If anyone likes to drink it's me lol. Heck, I run a happy hour group with 300+ members! We go out 2-3 times a week. It's a blast.
Anyway, I have a 2-3 drink maximum that I put in my diary the night before. You can rack up a lot of empty calories if you're not careful, and determined. Knowing beforehand helps!
Btw, my favorite drink is Bombay Sapphire gin and tonic w/lime. Yum!0 -
any flavored vodka with club soda is delicious and low calorie0

I always get cravings when i drink
I love beer (heck i am german) but i switched over to wine0 -
Run and diet soda0

Everything in moderation. Sometimes I save a few calories for a drink, sometimes I decide to go without the drink and have a bit more food.
I'm having some ok shiraz right now.0 -
Vodka!!! Although I love my beer too, and light beers don't always cut it...0

*raises up my beer* Here's to the weekend! (clink clink)
Cheers!0 -
If you peek at my diary I drink consistently through the week. ( I work at a restaurant, you get a free drink at the end of your shift) I still have made great progress and don't feel like it's held me back. I just choose either wine or light spirits. Like a vodka soda with lime or something like that. I also make sure I have room in my calorie goal so the drinking doesn't put me over.

All things in moderation. Just have 2, and no drinking the next day. Two full-calorie beers will always have fewer calories and taste better than 3 garbage light beers. If you're looking for a delicious low-calorie beer, Guiness is the way to go. No kidding, it is lower in calories (and alcohol) than most kinds of beer. Cheers!!0
