i'd say it depends on the beer.. Michelob Ultra has real low calories..

but as far as what i drink, i normally drink hard alcohol.. it's basically liquid calories but calories you can burn off.. no carbs involved so as long as you can burn off the calories then i'd say it's the lesser of two evils..

i normally mix vodka with sugar free crystal light packets and put it in the blender with crushed ice.. it's fantastic
