I'm The Low-Carb Bartender...not The Low-Carb Alcohol Abuse Consuler. I thought part of a bartender's job, low-carb or otherwise, was to see to it that his customers didn't overdo it? I have always, and all my posts will verify this, preached moderation when drinking. That is the key to enjoying a drink or two while watching carbs. However, I can't come over to your house and hit you in the head with a bottle of Tanquery if you've been bad. What is considered moderate drinking? For a man in the US---two servings of an adult beverage per day. That would be two servings of 12-ounce beers, two servings of 5-ounce wines, or two servings of 1.5 ounces of a distilled spirit, commonly known as a "jigger." For women, only one serving. This is per the USDA and their recommended guidelines for alcohol consumption. Every country and their health or nutrition department, however, seem to have their own guidelines as to what consitutes "moderate drinking." Bob Skilnik The Low-Carb Bartender |

My skinny SO loves his beer and has a couple most every day, he likes beer
with his dinner. He stays thin because he doesn't snack, never eats breakfast and sometimes forgets to eat meals when he gets involved with doing something. He's 72 so it's not likely to change when he gets older. In news Bob M stated | | Yeah, but a good beer can easily have 200 calories. If you're eating | 2k calories a day, that's 10% of your daily intake. While I love a | good beer, I have to avoid drinking them. Typically, I try to have | them only for special occasions.

What is considered moderate drinking? Here in the UK I think it's 14 "units" per week for a woman, and no more than 3 "units" per day; and 21 for a man, no more than 4 per day. But what, exactly, constitutes a "unit" is a vexed issue. I think it's a glass (125 ml) wine, or 1/2 pint beer (but there are beers and beers!) or a pub measure of spirits. Does anybody know, by the way, which has more calories - a glass of red wine or a measure of whisky (thinking of my forthcoming visit to my parents)? -- Annabel - "Mrs Redboots" 90/88/80kg |

He sounds wise! He probably has a fast metabolism, too. -- Annabel - "Mrs Redboots" 90/88/80kg |
