Beeeeeeer
Finally I went to a brewery/winery...Anheuser-Busch Breweries out here in STL.
Must say it was a pretty long walk to the brewery and back (close to 7 miles in total!)...but thanks to free beer, I am a happier man now ;)

Here's another 'happy man' asking for a second freee beeer:DWell, I had been keeping off from beer drinking for a while. Beer is one of my favourites...for its taste and 'sippability' ;)....but thanks to 'the beer belly scare', I have been trying to stay off....
The thought of beer conjures up an image of big bellied huge fellas gulping down mugs n bottles n pitchers....aaah, not too good for those yearning for their 6 packs;)
Just on impulse, I did some googling to research on 'why beer makes you fat'. Surprise, surpise! Beer isnt really fattening as we think it to be...
Here's some quick info flicked off a BBC article...for those wanting to quickly get their facts staight before they reach for another pitcher ;)
"There's no such thing as the beer belly," says George Philliskirk, of the Beer Academy. "But it is an appetite stimulant and it's the fish and chips or curry that round off a night with a few pints that puts the weight on."
Some statistics:
CALORIES PER 100ml
Beer (4.6% alc): 41 calories
Wine (12% alc): 77 calories
Spirits: 250 calories
Milk: 64 calories
Orange juice: 42 calories
Apple juice: 47 calories
Should I change to beer instead of apple/orange juice? ;)
And, here's good news for all alcoholics...:D
"In fact, concerns about alcohol being fattening could be completely off-target anyway. Martin Bobak says there isn't even concrete evidence that the human body can turn alcohol into fat."
Martin Bobak surely sounds very intelligent, he must be right :D

So does that mean you are going to gulp down several pitchers from now on?
nah nah...if you dint notice...more pitchers, more snacks to go with it ;)
More chicken lollipops...fish fingers....chicken fry...french fries...yummy ;)
I just happen to be trying to get in better shape....so trying not to think :D
But frankly, there have been a couple of times when I had huge salads that used to last all through the drinking...that was a good experience...coz at the end of it all, you still feel as 'lite' ;)
> There's no such thing as the beer belly," says George Philliskirk, of the ***Beer Academy***
and u believed them??
convenient truths are to be readily lapped up/beleived!
As long as I dont find any 'concrete' evidence against it (and I dont plan to search for it!)...I'll stick to this :D
