    When I drink on a diet I try to stick to red wine. It has some health benefits, the calories stack, and it doesn't make me want to eat the house when I have a couple of glasses. I dunno why, but beer makes me want to eat the most unhealthy things.

    Yup, I do. Beer and bourbon and wine and scotch and...
    Moderation is the key, keep your carbs/protein/fat ratio in check and you are good to go.

    I do, I have actually read that the darker beers are full of antioxidants. I love beer and will usually have a couple on the weekend. I've been trying to drink it more than cocktails since cocktails are usually made with soda and high calorie/sugar juices.

    I use to drink at least a 12-pack of Budweiser, Blue Moon, or Sam Adams a week, and then I quit the brew all together. Now ill drink vodka and orange juice occasionally...

    Low calorie beer (mgd 64) has less alcohol then higher calorie beer which sucks. End up drinking twice as many low cal beers to get a buzz. Might as well just stick to the coors light...

    I do. I go with Mic Ultra. I count it though. I don't pretend those calories are not happening, I record ever one of them. I drink beer Friday night and then try to get an extra workout in on Saturday.

    usually Guinness if i have beer... prefer red wine.
    Guinness! It's the best thing ever. And about half the calories of beer, which is hard to fathom since it's so delicious. It's the ice cream of beers. :)

    guiness draft about 170 calories a glass....higher than the average american beer

    No. You need to compare 12 0z. to 12 0z. / regular beer to regular beer

    A 12 oz. glass of Guiness = 125 calories (170 calories in a pint).
    A 12 0z. glass of Budweiser = 143 calories

    Red wine for me but beer for watching the F1 or Rugby, in moderation of course.

    if you are willing to achieve your weight loss goal slower than when not drinking beer...you will find plenty of follks here to encourage you to drink...if you want or need to get your weight loss as soon as possible....beer is not an optimal choice
    Really to funny another food snob I see. calories in vs calories out if you want to drink beer thats fine IT WILL not make you lose slower just remember don't go over your calories. But remember each beer takes away something you could eat thats better

    I have the occasional beer on a weekend...I don't over-indulge.
    I hear it is good to drink after a marathon though....get some carbs back into your system.

    I do, but only on the weekends (which are Fri, Sat, Sun for me), and I try to make sure I exercise a TON those days. It'd probably go faster if I didn't drink, but what fun would that be??

    I do. Unfortunately the kinds I like are >200 cals a bottle. I try to limit to 1 every few weeks since I also like red wine.
