    It has a higher calorie count than MOST of the drinks. I know because I calorie count everything.

    You are counting them wrong so.

    Which beer on that list has more calories than Guinness. Guinness is 37 per 100g. All the largers are over 40 per 100g. Just read the article you linked.

    Why not get your weeks booze in one go.

    Think of it as your weekly shop

    Yeah i would but what tends to happen is that i have a few and then i basically cant stop myself from keep on going. I rarely set out trying to drink so much.

    Its something about myself i would like to change in fairness.

    I was looking at cider, wine and spirits. All lower. The beer seems to be high too but everyone knows beer and stout is fattening.

    I have read somewhere that Bulmers has more calories than a Guinness. Between Heineken and Guinness, Guinness seems to have less calories, although the links below give different readings for each for some reason.

    People say Guinness is a heavy drink, but I would disagree. The reason being because I like my imperial stouts, and Guinness compared to them would be watery or light bodied. Also, Guinness I find easier to drink compared to lagers and Bulmers due to it having less carbonation, and it fells like there is less sugar involved. I don't get that dry scaly mouth feeling from Guinness that Bulmers left in my mouth when I used to drink it.

    Cider isn't lower, it's the same or higher.

    The conversation was about pints (so beer or cider) not about wine or spirits. Also the spirits are not taking into account the mixer which the vast majorly of people use with them and are hight in calories (not saying it makes them higher than a pint but it pushes them up a lot.

    Feic it man, your causing no harm to nobody else, what does it matter? Unless you want to stop it yourself for whatever reason for yourself, then fair enough. These are pretty $hitty times we live in and we all need a bit of release now and again, drink is a kind of mainstream answer to those things that we all have to put up with, but there are countless other ways to pass the time as it too y'know? I wouldn't feel too bad about it all, we all got to release somehow. But if you want a change, look to your hobbies and interests that don't involve it. A lot of people nowadays feel the same.

    Pepsi Max, Coke Zero. If I'm out it's Bulmers Light or Coors light. I don't know what the sugar level is in them but the calories are much lower.

    8,4 and 4 cans? :eek:

    Jesus OP, can you not see that you have a serious drink problem?

    Your drinking progression (syntax) is all wrong. It should be 4,4,8...

    What would happen if you decided to go on a serious bender?

    You'd end up having to make 8 or 9 trips. That's what.

    16 cans is a bit mental.
    The most cans I've ever drank in one sitting was 10; once I had gotten to #7 I had to keep going until #10 so that I was able to build a nice pyramid on my desk.

    20-30 pints is a ridiculous amount, bordering on obscene.

    Very very few people sit down and drink 30 pints in a day.

    Personally,I would only do it maybe twice,perhaps thrice a year.But it does happen,ask a barman.I had somewhere in the region of 12-15 pints last night,I started around 7ish came home around 3.I wasn't drunk. Merry,yes.Drunk no.

    16 cans sounds like a lot on the face of it but two cans an hour over the course of afternoon/evening is manageable if supplemented by food.

    I wouldn't manage 16 Guinness though.
