Hunter didn't open today.

I switched off beer and whiskey about five years ago when I read an article that the mega beer companies wanted to put calorie labels on cans and bottles. I said, huh, why would they do that? Well, the micro brewers we're grabbing part of their market, so, they wanted to remind people that their watered down urine like "light" beers only had around a hundred calories a can (less than soda!), and these beers dominate the market. A good IPA can be 400-500 calories, and I love IPAs, the funkier, the better. Now, add a shot of good bourbon or scotch, and we're hitting a thousand, or close to it. So, bam, Benny's favorite drink, a prime shot and beer, is maybe 40% of my daily caloric needs, in ten minutes, with no nutritional value, if I'm sedentary for the day. Stouts are even worse. Brooklyn Chocolate Stout, my fav, is 800 a bottle! ( Damn you lord!) So, do the math, especially if you don't stop at one. Sad. Life is not fair.

This thread gets more depressing by the post.

I hear you can burn a lot of those beer calories by skiing. Just not at Hunter, evidently.

My kids are convinced my waist growth from 45 to 50 was more a result of beer than age!

Not judging by any means but how tall are you?

 

[JTG]

6’4”, 185. I like long walks on the beach and a good skin track in the mountains. I also like pina coladas, and getting caught in the rain.

Between AGES 45 and 50 I added a few pounds and my 33s got tighter, and a little gut growth seemed to coincide with a bit of a beer phase I was going through. I don’t drink much beer lately, mistakenly choosing the believe whiskey is better, for my gut?

For starters, does anyone remotely athletic have a 45 to 50 inch waist? Heck, I doubt even Becton has that. Secondly, how many people ever experience a growth of 5 inches in their waist size, from beer no less? Add to that RA previously was talking age 45.....well, as was once said in a business meeting I was involved with (fortunately not said to me), you guys need to get your head out of your ass and start thinking straight!
