Hi peeps,

As per title really, just trying to figure out some alternatives to beer Need to cut down a bit because my wasteline is expanding and my bank balance shrinking lol.

I can never seem to find a good alternative to beer that I actually enjoy. Can anyone suggest anything.

I know some people will say coke, but you cant drink that all night can you !

Any suggestions welcome.

 

Do some serious exercise before you go for a session.
The alcohol gets into your system quicker, making you drunk quicker thereby reducing your alcohol consumption.

With the weather as it is now, finding a good alternative to a nice cold Stella is going to be really difficult.

A few of my friends gave up drinking altogether for a couple of months.
Now, they don't drink at all [as they feel healthier] and have mainly different kinds of fruit juices.
Problem is, you have to want to stop. Other problem is that Stella is just sooo nice.

I often drive when we go out now. This stops me drinking and then its mainly fruit juices. Unfortunately no bars sell Copella Apple and Elderflower which is really, really nice.

 

water but recently found out that your limited to that more than your limited to alcohol..lol orange juice (cordial) is the only other thing Ive found I can drink, dont do fizzy drinks etc. maybe look at wine... a nice red wine, the fact that your sipping it it'll last longer and wont put ont he weight that lager does

 

Solvents?

 

Heroin?

 

Xena Warrior Princess or Catwoman ...

 

Ooooh, both!!

Can i do some pictures?!

 

You don't drink it you shove up your nose .....





.... oh we're talking about the liquid fizzy variety, sorry

 

I've stopped mid-week drinking.

As an alternative I "use" unsweetened grapefruit juice & water 50/50 mix. If you imagin hard enough it's almost like Gin & Tonic

 

Soda water and lime -

Can be drunk all night without any of the side effects of cola, etc.

Boring as **** mind, but a refreshing alternative to beer .

Reminds me of that 5th Gear episode when they looked at the effect of cannabis

Therefore i propose GANJA

 

Seconded!

 

I've drastically cut down on my drinking and have lost just under a stone in a month .. I can almost see my dick now

 

Your all missing the best, just watch The Simpsions episode where Homer is barred from Mo's. Classic, eg: breathe in some thin air from the mountain tops

Alchohol is a big factor in putting on unnecessory weight no doubt.I reckon if you make sure you only drink the weekends rather that a few beers every night, that should help.
A mate of mine gave up completely and just drank glasses of water one after another to satisfy the habit of drinking.It was hard but he says he felt so much healthier, brighter and alive.He lost two stones in a couple of months!
Coke and fizzy drinks cause weight gain.
He did say that drinking so much water made him run for a wee quite often but thats what he preferred than having a huge beer belly.

 

I’ll second grapefruit juice - I love it.

Coke is worse for you than beer.

Thats my problem, every night i come in i have at least 4 cans, then the weekend comes in & its vodka galore.

Trying really hard to stop as i know i will lose at least a stone

Only time will tell

Stopped drinking fizzy juice as well, prefer to drink water, pee is now a lot clearer

Very cold sparkling mineral water, you can't beat it.

 

cut out midweek drinking.... money saved

eat healthy foods , no bacon rolls , burgers , ect

walk short journeys instead of driving!

drink more water all this is working for me and im not broke at the end of the month

 

See other 'fat belly' thread.

Drink Low-C, less fattening but tastes like Bavarian badger pi55, and you will drown before you get drunk.

 

You mean you drink your own produce

 

 

5 or 6 cans of red bull?? you get hyper and run around alnight and burn calories at the same time brilliant

mike

 

You've drunk Bavarian badger **** then Yoza?

 

No.

But you get my drift.

If something tastes bad, I have been known to say "That tastes like ****."

I havent tasted ****, but I imagine it not to taste very nice.

 

Cranberry juice I've been told that it also reduces cholesterol [how true this is I don't know]

 

Another one for redbull. I do two cans and two bottles of lucozade when I go out.
Look at the effects and see for yourself why i like it so much!
