Alcohol!

[ABCs]

Hah! Speaking of alcohol consumption.....

Hahahaha. Knowing how hard I am working/have worked to achieve the goals I set, there is no way in hell that I am going to ruin it with booze down at the Jersey shore. Let's put it this way, moderations will be my biggest mental post-it note this coming summer.

 

[Uthinkso]

anything in moderation is alright, its keeping it moderated that is a problem for most.

Oh trust me, for superbowl I'm taking six bottles of Mich Ultra amber with me and when thats gone, its gone. Buzz or no buzz. I drink at a football game to kick back and relax. I drink booze for getting hammered.

I got some high class wine waiting for me for tomorrows game. I know I shouldn't, but tomorrow is my cheat meal day anyway so tomorrow is my day to live it up. Back to the heavy grind on Monday though.

Focus, what do you have going on that you can't splurge alittle tomorrow?

Thats actually a good plan. Kinda like going out on nights with just $20. When thats gone, no more beer.

Similar principle same result. Had two mich ultras tonight to test the water. Outside of ingesting 200 empty calories I'm not sure what I accomplished.

Booze is my whore I just won't stop calling. I quit smoking two months ago, and can honestly say I won't light another but as long as I live. The booze though, not that I have a problem with it. I drink once a weekend if that, just doesn't go well with the diet. Not long before thats cut from the program.

Hmm... OK.... Thanks. I'll have to do some research I guess. I don't know the names of small breweries around here. Maybe I'll just go to the store, find some beers I don't recognize then research them online. Presumably the calorie count will be available somewhere.

Miller obviously isn't a micro-brewery but there are only 96 calories in a Miller Lite and I don't think it tastes to bad. I must confess, I celebrated the "Have-a-beer!" posts on this thread by drinking waaaay to many Miller Lites over the weekend but I still kept my calories at (or around) 2500 daily. I'm back on the program today and dropping my calories to 2000 moving forward. Hopefully I won't be craving my malty mind-alterer next weekend and I'll be at 7-8% body fat by early April. We'll see.

Thanks anyway. The input is much appreicated.

Ok your in Columbus,Oh......in Kalamazoo,MI there is BELLS they have very delicious stuff.

In columbus OH, you are probably drinking some stuff from the cleveland area like Great Lakes Dortmunder Gold or Crooked River.

OK... You got me. I usually drink Stella Artois which is a premium 5%+ beer from Belgium. Not many people know about it, but it's truly one of the best beers in the world. The calories work out fairly close to Bud Ice which is why I referenced that beer instead.

You've obviously never been to the UK, everyone drinks Stalla round here, were I live we call it 'wife baeter', it seems to send people fighting crazy!! Some pubs even took it off tap to stop bar fights, and it worked

I'm drinking non-alcoholic beer right now. They really have come a long way. Clausthaler and St Pauli Girl are good choices but expensive. They have an extra step of taking out the alcohol so it costs more.

I know many think drinking NA beers is crazy, but I can't afford to have the alcohol slow me down so much right now while I'm busting my ass on my diet.

90 cals, 18 Carbs, 1.5 protein. Not exactly a great source of anything except thirst quenching greatness. Its great with dinner, or since its NA, I guess it could be good for breakfast too.

lol 'Stella I'll twat ya'

Samo - I'm from the UK originally (I'm in U.S now). That's probably where my taste for Stella came from. It's hardly surprising it's been blamed for a few fights. People used to drinking 3% Fosters get a swift kick in thehead when they switch to a 5.5% premium beer like Stella that slides down nice 'n' easy!

Back in the day I remember Snakebite & Black being the drink of choice that was getting removed from the bars (OK. Fair enough. I was only about 16, but still...). It was ½ Stella and ½ Crude Somerset Scumpy Cider. Add a little blackcurrant and you've got a glass of what tastes like blackcurrant soda that makes you feel tougher than Arnold Swartzneggererer (or however you spell it!).

 

[Uthinkso]

Stalla you say, whats the front page on this stuff?? Is it worth trying?

 

[Big G]

Stella Artois is the full name. It's Belgian, delicious, strong & smooth. It's a bit more pricey in the States because it gets shipped a long way before it makes it to the retailer's shelves, but it's goooood. Meijers carries it (in Columbus OH, at least).

The TV ads always used to say "Stella Artois... Reassuringly expensive" as some smoking hot babe sucked on the neck. I wonder what Freud would make of my beer preference. He'd probably say I just miss my mother's nipples or something.

Ugh! Now I'm just grossing myself out.

Somebody stop me! Or at least pass me a beer.

 

[Rhyno]

Stella's are good (in my top 5 beers for taste), but 'i' think that you can get just as nice beer for cheaper. its all personal taste anyway, hell if you like the taste of goats piss (otherwise known as Emu Bitter), then drink it
