How many????

[Chuck N]

LOML was thinking about losing around 250lb the other day. But she decided to forgive me - again - and let me stay.

Whew!

[Tabasco]

I drink about 60 beers per week.

[joechianti]

I fluctuate a lot. Funny how it works. For the past 20 years I barely touched beer, now I prefer it, but can't produce it fast enough, so I have to supplement with whiskey. Usually drink gin and tonic on the road all day and then beer, if I have it, at home in the evening. When I have enough, I typically enjoy 2 or 3 pints in the evening, unless I'm feeling a little more festive. If I'm low on beer, I'll just have 2 or 3 highballs, usually doubles. I drink about the same amount during the day as during the evening, about 2 or 3 double highballs.

Dave how do you calculate the points for your home-brew??

[philm00x]

I know BeerSmith calculates the calories per 12 oz when you input a recipe and then add the measured OG and FG so it can calculate ABV and then in turn the calories. Then just use your calculation for calories per point.

[jivex5k]

Depends on the weekend.
I'm down to 1 per day on the weekdays, mostly a weight thing right now. I'm working out again and enjoy a beer post workout.
The weekends largely vary, but if there is a bottle share I will have probably 4 or 5 over the weekend if not more.
I used to drink way more but have been successful so far. Every time I want another beer past my 1 I just force myself to get water instead.
This simple replacement has helped me a lot.

[haerbob3]

calories are actually not used in calculating the Weight Watcher points the following variables are used

1. Fat
2. Carbohydrates
3. Fiber
4. Protein

I have been finding the closest brand name and making a guesstimate for points and/or putting in the weight value for the alcohol the fat variable. I am just looking for an easier way to do it. Since my doctor is insisting that I lose more weight yet. She wants my weight to stay under 200 now, so I rejoined WW after quitting for a year. I have unsuccessfully tried 3 times to get a home-brewing group established on WW, no interest. Yet people will save all of their weekly points just to get drunk one night a week.

I go by ABV. 4.5% or lower is "light", so 4 points. Higher than that is "regular", so 5 points. I don't go for really high ABV beers; the highest I brew is around 7%. Most are between 5 and 6%, which puts them in Sam Adams territory.

I may not be strictly following the Plan on this particular item, but I usually leave a point or two on the table at the end of the day, anyway. And I'm still losing!

[haerbob3]

That is basically what I have been doing. The Belgiums that I love are the problem!! I have started using the French Saison strain more. Even with fermenting at the cold end of it's range it ferments dry and clean.

[Kealia]

I'm in the 4-5/week average, less than 1/day.

I like to have one with dinner most nights, but I actually don't like beer post-workout so that depends on when I workout. If it's in the evening, no beer.

Parties and BBQs are the exceptions, and when it's social I'll have 2-3 (assuming I'm not driving).

[jpsherman]

I guess I'm at about 40-50 12 oz per week now. Actually used to be at least twice that much. A wife and kid can make a man wise up pretty fast.

[dbrowning]

I'm gonna say I average between 35 and 40 a week
usually 4 most weeknights. And then weekends depends on what's happening. During football season [ncaa, no interest in BS nfl] could double that in weekends.
As far as weight goes I'm trying NOT to lose any
I was about 210 in my prime.
Down to around 200 last 10 or so years. But down to 185 last 6 or 8 months. And I eat everything.

[gwcr]

Usually 1-2 per night during the week. Couple more on the weekends. Sometimes none, but not that often. So I guess I would be around 10-15 per week. Weight has never been an issue for me. I hover between 180-185# normally, but topped 190 for the first time last week (6'2"). Gotta get back to moving around more...

[swenocha]

I generally stick to one per night, but not every night. When out with friends, that total will increase. Probably on average, 5-10 per week.

[zorak1066]

ive taken a proactive approach to my life's problems. I consume 1/2 - 1 liter of beer and/or several cups of mead , hobo wine or hard cider daily. drinking makes my problems go away for awhile and is thus good for my mental health. my weight seldom fluctuates more than 5 lbs up or down and I stay between 260-265 lbs. I did start substituting nutri-crap (system) dinners 5 days a week but it doesn't seem to be working much. I think I need to add more beer to my diet.
