A beer a day

If I didn't have the fat gene, I'd drink more often than I do now.

 

I guess I'm lucky when it comes to the weight issue. As I said before, I have a beer or 2 most days but rarely more than that and I weigh about 135 lbs(which I have since about my junior year of high school). Not looking forward to the day my metabolism decides to slow down on me.

 

I usually don't drink Monday through Thursday. I probably average 7-9 beers total on the weekend.

 

Barley and hops have pesticides too.

 

2 a night during the week. Helps to buy "cheaper" (whatever is on sale) 12 packs like SN or New Belgium or for me Sweetwater to drink during the week. The weekend is is 3-4 and may consist of a growler, bomber or hight quality 4-6 packs.

 

I average about 6-10 beers a week, unless I go to a bar or a social gathering on the weekends.

 

I try and do about 4 or 5 days a week with beer but less on the weekdays/ more on the weekends. It will vary though.

 

I drink at most fri-sunday.. Friday is usually 2-3 12 oz or 1 bomber or 1 750...Sat is two bombers. Sadly some weeks I go without any!!!! And I start to feel slightly crazy...

 

How's your liver functioning these days?

 

Speaking of bad livers, there's a guy who lives in a log cabin down the street from me who claims he drinks over 18 beers every day. Used to drink the High Life and now by Dr.'s orders, he's switched to Miller Lite because of diabetes or something. He's probably in his late 50's /early 60's and has the nastiest gin-blossomed nose you'll ever see on a person. With that said he gets up at 5am everyday with no trouble to drive a cement truck and is home by 3pm drinking beer in his front yard til he passes out around 9pm. When we come and go by his house we honk and call him "beer man". He's the living legend (but can't get him to drink quality beer).

 

A serving of alcohol = 12 oz of beer = 5 oz of wine = 1.5 oz of hard liquor.

Moderate alcohol intake = 2 servings per day and/or no more than 4 in one sitting (for men). Exceeding the recommended limits essentially negates alcohol's cardioprotective benefits.

And knowing is half the battle...

 

Yes and that's 12 oz. of a 5% beer. Most IPA's are about 1.5 servings per 12 oz. DIPA's like Hopslam and others are 2 servings per 12 oz., so many folks don't realize they may be drinking 5, 6, 7+ servings per night.

 

I've often used that Craft beers are stronger than BMC to get more alcohol (and 100x more flavor) for my buck.
However, I Googled around a little and found that a standard drink is considered 0.5 oz of alcohol by some and 0.6 oz by others.
Any BAs have thoughts on this?

 

I'm a nutrition /workout freak. I drink a beer or 2 on cardiovascular days during the week. I indulge on weekends. On weight lifting days I do a protein shake, no beer.


I think drinking a beer a day is perfectly fine and even beneficial, as long as calories and body weight are in check.

Cheers

 

I can't be the only person on this site to figure out that your boss is named Simon.

And ever since Simon sold me that bottle of Cuvee des Jonqilles, I have vowed to purchase every bottle I see until my wallet or wife complains. I have only seen one in Minnesota (at Blue Max -- I bought it), and ask every store I frequent to carry it.

 

I usually go without drinking anything on Mon, Wed and Fri. Tues and Thurs, 4-6 per night...Sat a ton of em and Sunday is kinda casual, drinking what I have left over from Saturday lol. Sunday is my one day off work, I like to start drinking somewhat early while working in the yard, grilling somthing, or just being lazy for a change lol

 

I stand corrected, sir.

 

You are right, pretty much anything grown has pesticides. Just trying to add some humor

 

A beer a day keeps the doctor away.

 

This sounds like a Dr. Seuss rhyme.

"One beer, two beers, three beers, four beers"
