i guess there's less calories in hard booze, but then that depends on what u mix it with too. only drinking on the weekends is much better than drinking a beer or couple beers every day. alcohol lowers testorone levels and increases estrogen, which causes u to store fat, which booze is - sugar that will be changed into fat. if i was gonna drink on the weekends, i'd drink gin and tonic like i used to or put the booze in OJ, or soemthing that's not as bad for u as cola ( sugared syrop )

I believe liquor actually has more calories than beer, especially if its like a mix of different things.

yea, i think a gin and tonic has alot more calories than a pint of beer. the only sugar in beer is the actual alcohol content. But the sugar in a G + T is both the tonic and the alcohol.

The only plus with a G + T is that it is a clear liquid, unlike beer which means its less likely to give a hangover.

Oh yeah, and i only have a drink every 2 weeks.

last night i had 3 bottles of beer. So i do drink and train in the same week, kinda.

depends what you mix it with, booze in it self is like 1000 kcal every pint so a whisky staight ore on the rocks aint more than 50kcal.

drink straight scothct ore atleast mix it with with something sweet.

a couple off low kcal drinks on the weekend is okay

not entirerly correct, sugar makes the hangover worse, if you ever got drunk on girly drinks ore smirinoff ice you would know.

but anyway how can you possibly get a hangover from a couple off drinks

I meant if you went out on the piss and drank nothing but gin and tonic, you would proberbly fair better in the morning than if you'd been out drinking a darker liquid. The worst being red wine etc. Something to do with a by-product in distilling called 'congeners'.

I didn't know that about sugar. I just always thought the hangover was caused by the booze being a diuretic and that you become too dehydrated.

I like a beer but I try to drink a mix of beer and water on a night out, this stops dehydration, lowers the calorie intake and helps with the hangover.

Plus you can be merry, enjoy the night and still be in control!
