I have a weakness for beer. Good beer, not industrial standardized dishwater, you know, the thick craft products of small breweries that do little volume but with high quality ingredients. Those tend to be very high in empty calories, and working in a pub that serves only craft beers, I'm kinda doomed.
Well, I learned to balance. I allow myself only ONE pint on a saturday night, because Saturday is usually the busiest day and the owner of the pub usually holds a small staff meeting with free food and beer after closing time(most of the time I work in the kitchen, so I can make my own food too.
I haven't gained a pound since I started working there. On the contrary, I'm losing weight because I'm constantly bustling around between the kitchen and the tables, taking orders and bringing food and drinks to customers. In addition, I still maintain a good workout routine split between weights and running days.
Moderation is the key!

In the very beginning I cut out alcohol completely for a few months and that was 14 months ago. It is my birthday month and have relaxed on my calories and drinking. Since I have been drinking more I noticed that I bloat more, retain water, and my skin gets worse. This weekend will be my last drink until Christmas. I like to have a shot of tequila or vodka straight. I try to stay a way from mixed drinks since they add extra calories. My favorite all time drink is water. Balance is key for me.

I'm Italian. And probably for that reason I enjoy my evening glass of red wine (just 1! -. At the end of an hard day it helps me to relax and start a nice evening.
I'm in a good shape and I try to balance my life and my passion for fitness and healthy nutrition.
So if I have to choose between a biscuit or wine I choose wine because it gives me more joy!
I think that if you are in track 80% of your time (90 in mine) a 10% of indulgence it's not so bad! It's a balanced life!

It really depends. If you're an athlete then yeah you wanna take an aware decision on how you intake alcohol at a certain point and time. Many of my friends drink beer but forget to eat or beer and food are not really good friends for some people causing to lessen your eating frequency. My grandpa was a whisky and he managed to keep low weight and he ate a lot. I've noticed drinking affect your eating frequency it depends on your socializing lifestyle like my folks. Thanks for the info.

Cori I quit alcohol nearly 10 years ago for all of the reasons that you stated. Although I always realised that my drinking was doing me no good, it was my decision to begin serious fitness training that ultimately led me to quit. I was about 6 months into my training and going well but hit a wall due to my drinking. I quit and got fit really quickly and have never looked back. Thank you for your always informative and inspiring videos. :)

Great video and one I needed to see. I'm in the middle of a one month challenge I gave myself to only drink alcohol outside my home. I started to question myself. do I really need to drink wine while sitting around at night watching tv? So here I am nearly three weeks gone and only drank on two social occasions outside and one drink at home because I forgot! - Feeling good and thinking I'll keep it up for another month -

Alcohol has become a real weakness for me, I drink daily, and I know it where my weight gain has come from. I find it so hard to cut it out, but this video has given me some good inspo. Even if I start by cutting it out for a time then reintroduce it in a healthier and more balanced way. Thanks, I needed this today. -

Most people don't know or understand what moderation is.
I'm not shaitan alcohol but I just don't like it. I always say no if I'm asked if I want a beer or drink.
I might have a beer or two on a hot day of on working hard. That's all. It just doesn't interest me at all

Thanks for the video. In France, a glass of wine is culture when you meet up with families and friends. I had this guilty feeling that I had to really cut it off. Actually, as long as you know what you are doing and that it remains reasonable, it is fine.

In Bavaria, monks developed the -beer diet-. It is not that easy, because you are only aloud to consume beer for your daily calories, nothing else! These diet works to loose weight, but afterwards you need a while to get the shape. Prost!
