I actually laughed out loud reading this article, because I was talking to The Enucleator this morning about how I'm gonna have to stop drinking to lose this last ten pounds, and last night I commented to FBF that I can't believe I haven't gotten hell of fat considering all the beer I've had over the last three months.

The best part is where they say that women who drink consume more calories overall, but stay thinner ANYWAY.
WHERE'S MY FUCKING BOURBON?
I'd be interested in seeing this study up against the studies involving association between stress and obesity, since alcohol is sometimes used for stress control.
I was interested in the part where women who drink more than two servings of alcohol per day consume only 177 fewer calories from food per day, on average, which is almost nothing, it's a deviled egg or a slice of cheese.
Want more info.
Also, this is apparently not true for men. Poor men. :(

This isn't as awesome as he makes it sound.
As for drinking, I found myself losing weight even as a skinny bastard by eating nothing but grains and replacing a meal a day with scotch. There are healthier ways of doing it than, you know, probably dying like I am.

I've been too scared to look at a scale lately. Last I checked I had dropped 5 pounds, back down to 145. In my mid-teen years I was stuck at 135 for like 3 straight years. For reference, I'm 5'11".

I support this research and advocate the sale of "diet" malt liquor.
