for nothing? about you, but i always get something out of it. well, besides getting fat.

i drink a lot of beer, maybe 90% of the time light beer. but people ask me why i drink so much light beer if it doesn't taste as good as regular beer. i did the math and got a rough estimate:

20 beers/week x 52 weeks = 1040
1040 x 40 calories saved by drinking light beer = 41,600
41,600 x 90% = 37,440 calories
math for fun:
37,440 / 2,500 calories per day = 14.98 days

so what about those 15 days i've saved? they come in handy during family gatherings, especially during holidays.

wrong. Unless it effects his personal relationships or career or overall quality of life.

Dictionary says:

A disorder characterized by the excessive consumption of and dependence on alcoholic beverages, leading to physical and psychological harm and impaired social and vocational functioning. Also called alcohol abuse , alcohol dependence .

A light beer or a drink (gin/Vodka/Rum/Jack/etc. and Diet soda) will cost you about 100 calories. Compare that to a drink like a margarita or Long Island Iced Tea which is about 500 calories!!!
