Yes BUT… I can’t do that and then NOT pig-out on munchies hard core :S Therefore I think rum or vodka with diet coke is a much better choice for me

Ha!
If it was that easy! Hard liquor like vodka and rum will drop your blood sugar level which will make you insanely hungry.
Weed doesn?t if you are used to it.
Do straight coke.
4 lines = bliss + no calories
Bourbon and water. Anything else is just gay.
Beer is not gay… unless it is that light stuff.

I happen to like my light stuff. I guess things are different north of the border.

vodka?
Drinking Beer to be macho (to not look like a pussy in front of your boyfriends, I mean “the guys”) just means you gave into corporate advertising propaganda and/or peer pressure at some point in your life.
I drink any kind of alcohol to get a nice feeling from the buzz it gets me.
I’m not worried about other guys thinking I’m gay or wussy because I happen to take overall calorie consumption into consideration when I want to get shit-faced.
Flame-on!
This is silly. What kind of cutting loose is it if you are taking all of this crap into consideration?

Well, I noticed that the beer I was drinking every weekend was realy adding up around my gut.
I cut out alcohol completely and I quickly lost weight, and my waist got smaller.
I added alcohol in the form of liquor and calorie free sodas and my gut didn’t come back.
It’s not like it was difficult or anything, plus it helps that I like the taste of the drinks I make, and don’t realy miss beer that much.
It took too long to get drunk from beer anyway, and I was bloated and pissing every minute before I even felt a buzz.
Now I’m proud to hold a glass instead of a beer when drinking. Hell, I might even put an umbrella and a cherry in it. LOL
(not that there’s anything wrong with that)

I tend to agree.
scotch on the rocks
it’s fun, but if you’re serious about bodybuilding?
alcohol increases estrogen levels in the blood, dehydrates your cells, lowers ability of muscles to use ATP, increases triglycerides, lowers natural HGH levels, produces liver enzymes that destroy testosterone, and adds 7 calories per gram of non-nutritive food.
it’s like being on the anti-bodybuilding diet!
my story:
i’m 38. i used to drink about 40 regular beers per week(about 4/day weekdays and a good party up on the weekends) 6 months ago, i was working out consistently, seemingly strong (benching in the upper 200s/squatting 350/deadlifting 385). yet, always felt tired.
then came the blood test revealing elevated triglycerides and liver enzymes. no matter how much i worked out, could not lose any weight (of course, you don’t realize that your relative hard workout is like a warm-up when you go clean. especially stubborn was the adipose around my “beer” handles. after this, i turned to bodybuilding and gave up the booze.
i have abstained from alcohol now for 6 months.
i am way stronger (benching 385/squatting 425/deadlifting 475),way leaner (beer handles almost a bad memory now), and much bigger. for years, i struggled to get arms up to 18", now easily stretch the tape at 19", plus i just feel 1000 times better!! like a teenager again. best thing is: don’t miss it one bit.
if you think you “need” the alcohol for weekend relaxation, etc. then have whatever you like in moderation (2 to 3 drinks max.).
if you want to get written off your face, then like others here, suggest you use another drug.
good suggestions: tequila lime salt
vodka, gin or bourbon and soda (with a little rose’s lime juice)
i’d personally stay away from the sucralose, acesulfame k, aspartame diet soda crap mixers. that stuff is absolute rat poison, imho.
