Beer not fattening: official

[foxyloxley]

and lower my cholesterol

Not only is beer fat free : it is also cholesterol free too ................... :Hurrahhh:

I'm around 16 st / 220 lbs now, slowly gaining since my 20's when I was a fit[ish] 12 st / 170 lbs.

I've always drank, and until recently it was always beer, converting to claret at the moment

I personally never put the weight on through the beer ................. it was those bloody kebabs and curries at three o'clock in the morning that did it for me

My mates where in 2 Para, they drank and smoked, ate anything that wandered too close to their plates, and were the fittest, meanest SoB's I've ever met.
Now they're all [those that are left] slowly going to seed, and increasing in weight :
NOT because of beer, because thay no longer train / exercise quite so damn hard.

in short :

Beer is a BEAUTIFUL invention, and I, for one, would like to meet the person who invented it, and find out just what his [it HAD to be a man] NEXT project is

Well, I also read in an booklet they comes with my phone bill monthly (probably so I have something to read while bitching), and it said that beer can actually be GOOD for your bones when drank moderatly. So beer is not entirely bad!

Agreed.

EDIT: After googleing for a good...2 seconds, I came up with this article about that and red wine: http://*************.com/?Beer,-Wine...Bones&id=10599

The not-so-good news is that if you drink distilled beverages such as vodka or Scotch, daily consumption of these beverages has shown to actually promote osteoporosis.

Damn; there goes my Gin / Brandy / Whiskey / Vodka / Rum / Knees / Back / Skull

BTW... I still drink beer.... Whenever possible....

I call it "Beer Management"
