Can anyone confirm that drinking spirits is less likely to cause a beer belly and generaly speaking a lighter hang over than drinking pints?
It's true, spirits aren't high in calories, beer is! As for the hangover... if you drink enough of anything you'll have a hangover!
i dont get hangovers - my 21st i drunk so much i cant remember it - got up and was fine but yea Spirits have less calories i tend to have a few beers with dinner then move on to spirits when im going out
i thought beer bellys were to do with the lifestyle that accompanies heavey drinkers and not actually the cals in the drink
Probably more to do with quantites. You don't drink spirits by the pint (Well, I hope not). Beer you do.
i say beer and then spirits if you are on a big night out but i can drink beer at anytime, whereas i have to be in the mood for spirits
Opposite for me, have to be in the mood for Beer / Lager - will drink spirits without worries if im going out mind
They're caused by excessive amounts of calories (not being burned by your body); which includes beer. I wake up with hangovers no matter what I drink. In fact I quite often feel as though I have one when I have not been drinking at all .
hhehehee i only drink beer when im totally wasted.. and have finished all the vodka i wake up feeling very fragile in the morning, but ive never had a headache or anythin
I sit in an office all day! I could manage on 1600 Cals a day without feeling hungry. So when I eat a normal days food of 1600 cals PLUS the 1500 Cals in 5 pints of Bulmers, plus the curry chip after a drinking session, it's very easy to put on weight. If I go a few weeks without drinking people would comment that I lost weight, or look well, etc! But I like beer too much!
yeah so if people were more active and not so lazy the calories would be burnt thus eliminating the belly...
I love vodka with almost anything. I usually wake up the following day feeling groggy, but not really with that much of a hangover!
therefore smoove, i can confirm that beer isnt what gives you the beer belly so it doesnt matter what you drink, just dont be lazy
I was under the impression that due to less quantities you drink of a certain spirit, its going to give you a smaller hangover than beer?
