    I get worse hangovers with liquor than with beer.

    As far as dieting, beer goes directly to your stomach. Definitely drink liquor.

    Michelob Ultra Light. Very Atkins friendly.

    It also contains more alcohol. Bud light and Coors Light contain less alcohol and contain more carbs.

    Wasn't there a thread a few weeks ago with a link to a site that showed calories and carbs for different brands and type of alcohol?

    Tonic is evil. It's pure sugar water.

    Vodka & soda or crown & diet coke are the answer.

    Michelob Ultra Light has only about 2.5 grams of carbs per beer. That is way less than any other beer I'm aware of.

    I remember being on Atkins a while back in the induction phase and I had a glass of red wine. I then proceeded to get very dizzy, tired, and almost passed out all from a little wine. That was a weird, scary experience. I thought I was dying or something.

    Get your tastebuds checked, they are overdue for maintenance.

    Miller Lite? over Michelob?

    :confused:

    I like Shiner..;)
