I want to cut back on my alcohol intake, it is causing me to gain more weight each week. I drink about almost two bottles on the weekend and now you know why I'm gaining weight even though I train. What is the best method? Quit cold turkey or tone it down to one beer with a Mexican meal?

Two bottles of what?

Two bottles of what?
Two bottles of beer ~ no problem
Two bottles of wine ~ probably no problem ;)
Two bottles of booze ~ dude has issues
-
Two bottles of beer ~ no problem: BARLEY - COMPLEX CARB LOADING
Two bottles of wine ~ probably no problem: ;) ANTIOXIDANT MEGADOSING
Two bottles of booze ~ dude has issues: DAVID CARRADINE-ESQUE...and, we all remember how that ended up!
-
One day it's a bottle of whiskey, the next it's tequila. Should I lay off the liquor and only have two bottles of beer?

Your liver is begging you to cut back. That's a lot of booze in a short period of time.
-

"Two fingers" or a double is more than enough in a 24 hour period. Cutting back takes much willpower. It might be easier to just give up drinking alcohol altogether.
-
Yeah, gotta quit cold turkey.

You ever try Dan Aykroyd's Crystal Head vodka?
I've read a bit about it; sounds interesting.

Aykroyd pimps it every chance he gets, and I wondered if part if it's semi-exclusive price is due to his name.

I just don't get drinking post high school/college. I had my fill by the time I was 19. That's just me. Whatever does it for you.

nothing special IMO... good bottle, good marketing, pours badly (lip of the bottle is thick) and is somewhat tasteless

I was 22 the first and last time I got "smashed." Moderation has been the word of the day ever since.
I do enjoy the occasional drink dependent on the time of year and setting. I find something relaxing and almost therapeutically rewarding about responsible drinking. I hate and avoid drinking to the point that I become tired, or an annoying prick.

Interesting.
Do you prefer flavored vodkas?

coffee flavored coffee and vodka flavored vodka

Except vodka has no flavor to speak of. It is rare someone orders a vodka neat. Scotch neat maybe, but not vodka neat.

ive been strongly considering not drinking anymore...
May I ask the reason?
-
never drinking? or just cutting down significantly?
i go through periods where i do not drink for weeks/months due to work or race schedules...
but a few times per year it's fun having a reboot
-
May I ask the reason?
No real reason...guess I'm just doing something new

I have been trying to cut back. It's challenging. There is a point where your will power is compromised. I am trying to avoid that point. I have a glass of scotch in front of me right now. We will see if I can limit myself to just one more and then switch to tea or something.

switching to an alternate is a good trick...
personally i am drinking beer... i compromised by getting coors light AND I am walking at my deskmill while drinking it... the alcohol has raised my HR by about 15bpm... nice

I've tried this. I don't particularly like beer. So if I drink it, I don't drink much. I drink wine sometimes, but once I open a bottle of wine, I tend to drink it all. Crazy as it probably sounds, I actually like scotch. I must because I drink it neat. I really like good scotch. Thank goodness I am not wealthy enough to afford it other then as a special treat because when I've bought or been gifted Glenlivet or Aberlour, I drink that stuff down like there's no tomorrow.
Scotch is one of those things people either love or they hate. I happen to love it.

i've drank a fair share of scotch in my time but in my middle age i prefer bourbon... more alcohol with less calories... and the high end stuff is both cheap and almost as tasty as a good cognac...
come to think of it... this is my last beer for the night... switching to maker's mark!

The fellow in line in front of me at the liquor store was buying Maker's Mark. I like cognac. Maybe I should give bourbon a try.

I laid off the hard stuff and am only drinking 1 or 2 full flavored beers on the weekends.

Social drinking is fine in my opinion.Also, alcohol improves the insulin sensitivity of your muscle cells and dries you out the next morning so that's something... :P
