I got into a conversation with a fitness friend about alcohol today and how I miss whiskey LOL. He informed me that people get fat off of beer, but drinking hard liquior like whiskey or tequila is fine for you diet wise. Ummmmm......that's not correct is it?

Dehydration caused by alcohol would still occur whatever you drink i guess, which is also pretty damaging. Not to mention placing a load on your liver, kidneys etc.

I'm not talking about becoming and alcoholic LOL, a drink every now and then. Right now I'm on a no carb diet....does whiskey count as a carb?

Wow. good luck bud. I tried the no-carb thing and was waking up to night sweats, irritability and low energy. I thought I had a disease or something for a while. Whiskey contains sugar I believe, and does count as a carb.

Beer or Whiskey!

Posted by: I Are Baboon

god damn I love beer.

Posted by: Rocco32

Awesome Jodi!!! But it should still be a no-no for someone going no carb though correct?

Posted by: Jodi

For no carb it is fine but it's got an awful lot of empty calories and it halts fat burning.

they didnt even bother to include vodka??

all i drink is vodka fresca, fresca having no sugar in it and from what i hear vodka is one of the "better" alcohols??

maybe someone has more information on this

Posted by: rmcfar

according to a website i just found
per fl oz. vodka(smirnoff) has 19cals 0 carbs
per fl oz. whiskey(JD's) has 79cals 0 carbs
per fl oz. beer(budweiser) has 12cals 0.9g carbs

so if you have one drink of whiskey your baggin 80cals (plus your mix...unless you do it straight up) one bottle of beer is 12.2oz which means you are takin in 146.4 calories and 11g of carbs.

personally i can drink about 24 beer on a good night. And if im drining vodka maybe 20-22oz

if you do the math that means im having about 400cals a night from the vodka. if i were to drink 24 beer it would equal over 3500 calories.

this being said i only drink like this about once a month....or i try

Ketel One and club for me!

in your low carb diet are you trying to establish ketosis. in that case alcohol won't kick you out.

Posted by: Jodi

Yes, this is true. The liver can make ketones out of alcohol as sad as that seems

Posted by: rmcfar

that is far from sad

Posted by: Jodi

No it is sad. It's not really promoting healthy lifestyle now is it?

"Hey I can drink and lose weight at the same time!"

Posted by: Prince

if you're going to drink then you might as well drink what ever the hell you like, because none of it is really conducive to bodybuilding and dieting.

1 gram of alcohol is about 7.5 empty calories.

Posted by: rmcfar

this is true but i think for the common person that just wants to be "in good shape" alcohol is a part of life that you might not want to cut out.
being 19 years old im not about to skip drinking with my friends because my bf isnt 8%. comes down to priorities, and for me
were here for a good time, not a long time

If I am going to feel like shit in the morning its going to be because I drank something that I liked. Beer for me.....Corona!

I agree, I drink a few beers every weekend.

Posted by: tucker01

What about a couple of cases every weekend.... Think that will be conterproductive?

Or maybe it is the couple of 26's of Crown on top of that, that is stalling my progress.

Alcohol lowers your testosterone levels. So how could either really be that good? I guess 1 shot of teq or 1 glass of beer once in a while won't hurt nothing. Remember Beer has Sugar in it. So if it's a beer make it Mich ultra.

But again like previously stated they all dehydrate you and affect your gains, I read somewhere that you should limit your drinking to like once a month
