Drinking beer makes you fat...

Thank god for cycling, which makes you (a bit) thin (ner).

And it's not just the alcohol, it's the fact that my body's reaction to a hangover is to demand carbs and unhealthy food in order to stay awake and/or function in a semi-normal fashion.

I've had a bacon sandwich, a greek salad, 5 black coffees, about 2 litres of water, a jacket potato with cheese and chilli and a small box of sushi, and to round it all off nicely I am planning a curry for dinner.

Damn it. Must not go out drinking on tuesdays.

Damn it. Must go out drinking if I can get to eat all that afterwards, would have to give the sushi a miss though.

I am finding it hard to get thinner, mosly because I like to eat all that kind of stuff without the excuse of alcohol! Since I started riding so much I have eaten everything in sight!

Drink more beer the night before, so you feel really rough the next day and you can't eat, then when it gets to about five pm go for more beers and you will feel amazing.

Today me and my hangover have had a bowl of muesli, 3 coffees (incl. 1 starbucks dark cherry mocha with cream), some soup, a Pret breakfast bowl and Love Bar, some sweets and an apple.

Your hangover is obviously less hungry than mine...

I almost certainly did not need the 4 little rolls of sushi which I've just eaten, especially after the jacket potato after the gym, hopefully my body will have time to digest it before dinner at 2130...

Also, dark cherry mocha? Dark cherry chocolate coffee? Those americans have too much time on their hands.

Wow...sounds like a recipe for jet propulsion. Just add beans!

Are you trying to wind me up :x - I had BEANS for dinner, just reading your post made me almost dribble

Damn thats where i have been going wrong (hic).

Lit and Boindino both have hangovers.....Suspicious.

Anyway we did hangovers last friday when I had mine.

BTW also due one this Friday as I'm out on a work bender tomorrow.

I sometimes ponder on how many extra calories I consumed in beer and beer related food and how long I would have to cycle to burn it off. I then dismiss the thought and have another beer

I must disagree, beer does not make you fat. It's all that crap you eat while pissed or hungover that puts the pounds on.

snooks

I don't think it's beer per se

I think it's being too hung over to ride that fcuks things up! :shock:

BEER IS GOOD! Long live beer!

I always thought beer helps you carbo load for the morning commute? What better way to clear the head

Mmm Curry - just finished a plateful

Of all the hangover cures, I always found cycling the best set off for work in the morning with a dodgy stomach and sore head, by the time I got to the top of the hill 2 miles away I was right as rain!

My kind of girl.

Beer also makes you think you can just get across the that junction before the cross traffic starts moving. But it doesn't quite numb the pain when you don't.

Well I managed to swear off the curry, and had pasta instead - mmmmm carbs.

And then went to Pilates.

Oh and another good thing about beer is the beer jacket. It's kept me warm on many a cold cycle home from a country pub. Yaaay beer!

Can you tell I'm not hung over today?

Your vocabulary and punctuation has improved.

I can confirm that beer does indeed make you fat. Famously booze gives you a bigger double chin, even if you are not fat anywhere else.....apparently.

Booze also stimulates the appetite, which doesn't help matters, and is why post-pub takeaways always seem such a bright idea despite having had a big tea about 4-5 hours beforehand.
