    its wine rather than beer for me but I save a few hundred cals for each day during the week so I can enjoy a few glasses at the weekend - it balances itself out over a 7 day period x

    I too am a big wine fan. I havent had any in a while, but I do love it. My friends and I head to NY Finger Lakes for a wine tasting weekend every summer/fall. Best times to be had by all on those weekends! And the scenery there is gorgeous to boot

    So glad I don't drink, drinking=belly fat...........hope you can stop or at least cut down alot, it's counter productive to what you're trying to do......:)

    Ugh. I love beer too. :drinker: My vice is Heineken, at 150 calories per 12 ounce bottle. Ouch. And Heineken Light just doesn't taste the same to me. Sigh. Oh well.

    It's hard. I have really cut beer out almost entirely because I like good beer, and good beer is super high in calories. It's hard but I'd rather use those calories on food.

    I love beer, I drink perhaps 4 pints a week, though more this week because of a beer festival. I try and make this a positive interest by drinking them in pubs after many miles of brisk cycling.

    I agree with those who reduce quantity, but maintain quality. I log my beer like anything else, try to plan for a couple pints when I go out, and regularly have to forego a drink all together if I am at my limit for the day.

    Stone IPA is my standard, but I've got a bottle of Breckenridge Small Batch 471 (a great IPA) sitting in the fridge for tonight.

    I don't think beer is a problem. Find a local chapter of Hash House Harriers (billed as the drinking club with a running problem.

    ^^ This! If this piques your interest, even a bit, do it. Definitely. Seriously.

    I have been reading up on the Pittsburgh one since I read this earlier and I am totally checking it out. I also read the whole wikipedia page about how it all originated. Great story and history there. I'm so excited for this!!

    Yay! It's great fun. Enjoy! This is the first I've seen HHH mentioned on these boards, and it's got me all excited to look back into it. (I had a foot injury, then moved and have no idea where the closest pack is around here)
    And speaking about the beer, my home hash had a...oh, what to call it? Backer? Benefactor? Sponsor? (they were members too) The owners of a very good local micro-brewery...very lucky.
