Alcohol- Where you at? page 2

NO! There was that article posted a while back (from Leangains) that suggested alcohol might actually assist fat metabolism!!!!!

At least... that's how I chose to interpret it.
*pours another glass of Cab*

Actually, ErinC, I just read an article from someone (ripped, of course) that stated alcohol can benefit in fat loss IN MODERATION. The author would drink as much as 1/week and still maintained a ripped physique. Let me see if i can dig it up. Hold on...I'll be back...

Here it is...check out the part in there describing the better and best alcohols to drink...if you are going to drink. Dry red wine is best (for Fat loss).

Yes, man. That was the article I was talking about. I just quickly scanned it but have it bookmarked to read more in depth later (with a glass of wine). I don't really care too much about fat loss, to be honest, but I'll look for any way I can to justify my wine consumption to naysayers. *grin*

I just love the experience of hanging out at a pub, sipping a frosty pint and having great conversation.

Yes, i am with you on that. Nothing beats it really, especially a great pub in the backstreets of London. Back in the day i would have added a smoke to that drink and conversation, but that ain't so good for you. A smoke, a pint of guinness, and good people around...aaahhh. Still, done every once in a while is ok for me.

I'm a big fan. I love beer, red wine, and have a very special fondness for good bourbon. But I also know that I do the most harm to my body when I'm drinking. Really trying to limit the frequency and amounts that I do when I do.

Japanese whisky is excellent. I had some last weeks after a friend bought some back. So warm and smooth. Not really a fan of beer. I like it rare and bottled when i do, but Guinness is a fine tipple

Sure, if a guy is ripped not even a pizza p/wk would throw him off the 8% bodyfat express. Assuming you meant one drink per week, not one bottle

A drink a week?? UGH Why bother? The bottle is ruined from oxidation in that week....guess it`d be a good excuse to go out and have a drink though

+1! I like your style

Ah, great article linked! Explains why I can sometimes weigh in lower after a night of drinking vodka water and stay in ketosis. It flushes all the water out!

I brew my own beer from scratch and enjoy the process, its more of a hobby I guess.
I drink on weekends and enjoy few thing's more than kicking back on the veranda and watching the sun set through the trees with a cold beer.
Or a large double screwdriver if there's no beer ready..
I've actually taken a shine to spiced mead lately and plan to knock up a batch shortly, that'll be nice for winter.

Having mates the same age who look like fat pissheads is all the inspiration I need to keep a lid on the drinking nowadays..
