First off I already know you guys want to tell me to just not drink alcohol and how bad it is for me and all, however that's not my question or concern.

I am just wondering what I should replace my Jack and coke with? I go out about twice a month and get drinks with some friends, I have cut out beer during the week outside of I'll have a couple light beers when we play golf once a month. I'm a light weight now as I have cut back drinking so much but I still enjoy a few drinks with the boys from time to time and would like to minimize the harsh effects it has on my goals. What would you suggest trying?vodka oj? Vodka club soda&lime?
 
Red Wine. That is what I drink when I go out with my fat friends and they give me **** while they drink their budweiser and mixed drinks. Then I call them fat. So all is good.

I also drink light beer a couple times a week. but no more than 2 during an evening.
 
Its cleaner, lower on sugar than most mixers and has less chemical crap in it. If the OJ fits in with your daily needs then its fine, without forgetting you're taking in alcohol with it of course. Most juices and carbonated drinks are unhealthy for their ingredients let alone the kcalories.

If you were a hardcore body builder or athlete drinking anything would be restricted in the same way as junk food.

That being said, there is a post on here somewhere in which someone confesses to using coke as a mixer for a post workout insulin spike.

Same thing, just a different kind of grape.

Not quite. Red wine gets it color and added health benefits because the juice is fermented along with the skins of the grapes, where white wine is fermented without the skins. It's actually the skin that gives red wine its color and health benefiting antioxidants.

I would also vote for red wine as the most healthy choice. The bottom line though is anything in moderation.
 
I have always said that if there is no way you can go out without drinking, then it really is time to stop anyway!

Whats the problem with not drinking?

Personally, whenever i really want to have a drink, i wont have one. If you get in to the habbit of only drinking when you want it, you'll develop cravings and not be able to stop. which is essentially why you started this thread.
You want to be healthy and not drink jack and coke, but you still want to drink some alcohol.
Typically I'll drink once every 2-3 months at a big event or party and i'll get totally waisted, have 2 days off training then not drink for ages after.
 
I haven't been drinking in AGES cause I only have a casual job now so can't really afford it with all my other commitments, but I haven't lost any more weight either.........so a drink every now and then won't kill me. I like white wine and vodka mixes. But yeah, it only happens like every 4 months or something. Also my PT recommended Vodka Lime and Soda to me as a low cal drink.

Just skip the coke and down the whiskey...prefereably a cheap one...$4 pint style. Then proceed to make mistakes.

Good man

If you're not man enough to take your drinks straight then you're probably not old enough to be drinking anyway.

Tequila is a favourite of mine, it's not usually long before I hit floor with that stuff so I don't consume so much, a winning tactic (although I very very rarely drink at all these days)
 
I heard beer is really weak in the US etc.

Typhon, i reckon if some of the Yanks saw how a lot of us English party and live it up they'd be f**king shocked.

I think Yanks already have a pretty good idea, 80's football hooligans seemed to give the World a pretty good display of just how pissed we get

I remember at uni we were downing pints as forfeits but when we ran out of beer I downed a pint of Vodka. Not the best idea, and I wasn't capable of drinking for much longer after that :(

I was thinkin I'd have you two on my side with that. Straight up or not at all. :D
 
T, not all beer is weak here...there are plenty of full force, delicious beers here. It's just that it has become "cool" to drink light beers, and of course everyone in the commercials drinking the light beer is lean and healthy, so dumb people here think it will work for them. But yeah, we have plenty of good beer, it's just that most of it comes from Europe. :)

Holy crap...downing a pint of vodka...yeah, no one can really last much longer after that, especially if you've been smashing on some beer pints previously...
