No beer? So now what do I drink?



Recommended Posts

My social life tends to be centered around beer. I hang out with "Motorcylists". Just wondering what other drinks you guys have switched to that are not to foo foo. I know drinks are empty calories. Don't care for scotch, whiskey.

Thanks

Tequila shots, that's reasonably "butch"...

Repeat after me:

One Tequila

Two Tequila

Three Tequila

FLOOR!

Happy New Year!:wink2:

I'll start by saying I'm preBand so I'm not speaking form program experience. I never really cared o much for whiskey but after living in Kentucky for almost 3 years I've learned to enjoy bourbon. When we go out one person stays sober and I'm usually the one. A bartender friend got me started on Bourbon on the Rocks (good stuff) and I can spend a few hours nursing it don't get buzzed but still enjoy a drink with everyone.

Sorry, not a guy but I used to bartend so this caught my attention. Try a good sipping tequila or rum. Also martinis (real ones, not the girly flavored ones). Bloody Marys aren't completely empty calories, and can be made really spicy if you like. Hard liquors with fewer mixers stand out to me as more "manly" and fit to drink around bikers than do a lot of the sweet froo froo drinks.< /p>

I drink beer.A 12 light beer has 105 calories and 5g. carbs.If I have 4 beers,I just dont have that hamburger that I had planned to have.My wife had High hopes that this surgery would make me have to stop beer drinking and mentioned it in front of the Dr. and he said, "hell, why would he want to do that".Kinda burst her bubble.

Beer was a hard thing for me. I actually brewed my own beer before surgery. Right now I'm sipping some Kentucky bourbon on the rocks. Sousa make a really nice sipping tequilla-much better than Cuervo for drinking straight up. Bajabob.com makes sugar free, zero calorie mixers that are pretty good. Let's you have a 90 calorie margarita. Then there's always wine, which at least in my mind isn't foo foo. Good luck.

as a motorcyclist myself, I had to comment... umm.... coffee! Beer and riding doesn't mix!

having said that, I drink Margaritas. Yes, high in sugar, but I don't drink every night and I only have 1 or 2 when i do. I step up with good tequila and go "caddilac" so I take my time drinking instead of just powering down. If anyone says a Margarita is not manly, they can take it up with Mr. Jimmy Buffet.

to the guy drinking Redbulls... they are carbonated right? Doesn't the carbonation bother your stomach or concern you with all the talk of damage the cabonation can cause?

I'm not gonna be much help. I'm a scotch and wine drinker myself. I have the occasional beer, and would recommend Guinness. It is a little less carbony if you will than regular draft.

It's also cool - even among bikers. Try riding with a British motorcycle group. That's what they drink

Have you ever tried Baja Bob's margarita mix. No calories made with splenda. Not too bad with a couple of fresh limes squeezed in it. You can purchase at some stores or order on line. They also have other mixes as well.

I can still do beer - just much less. Agree with the Guiness comment - it does go down easier. I will have a few beers, then if I want to continue, I will switch to wine, scotch or my favorite - bourbon.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
