re: Getting off beer

Noticed that I'm getting a slight spare tire, and I've identified beer as the culprit. I'm thinking about switching to gin and getting off beer altogether. Has anyone ever done this before and if so, what were the results?

It's not the beer giving you a gut, fatty. It's the rest of the shite your putting in your body.

Beer is actually, very healthy. Contains many healthy proteins and anti-bodies. The problem, is that a typical craft beer contains about 200-250 calories per 12 oz. Other whiskey's, bourbons, vodka's, gins, etc... also contain calories, and unless you are drinking them with water, you aren't doing yourself any favors.
The reason it feels that way, is it takes less cocktails to get you drunk, than it does volume of beer, thus less caloric intake. But if you are going to switch that beer with bourbon and coke, you are simply equaling or adding a few calories.

You want to lose weight? Exercise and eat (and drink) smarter.
