Drinking

[toziongoesi69]

Alright, so I am twenty live in a huge tourist town in Florida. I have personally cut back my drinking big time from about 3-4 times a week to about once every two weeks. But I still feel like I am cheating. I have been drinking Jack and water with a twist of Lime is that alright?

[king henry viii]

well if you feel like you're cheating then maybe you are. but one drink every 2 weeks shouldn't affect you too much.

[toziongoesi69]

Yea, but going from what I was to where I am...I am doing very well in my opinion. Plus I make myself the DD so I cant drink unless we are just hanging out at someone place which is hardly ever. Just feel like when the summer comes back around I will start drinking again. So I am kinda looking for a drink that isn't completely sh*tty for me.

[amac5261]

don't think it is bad, but...

Beer=carbs and you get a "beer belly" due to the number of calories going in and a majority of people unable to burn that off, plus what they had consumed through the day.

Whiskey is actually pretty good for you. Whiskey, which is made from Barely, contains tons of carbs. HOWEVER, the carbs are turned to Alcohol in the fermentation process and pretty much become null-n-void.

Avoid rum, all varieties. Rum is made with Sugar Cane and is pretty bad for you.

I think it is alright to "treat" yourself once in awhile.

[amac5261]

OH! Forgot to add...

Some companies does use caramel coloring to color their Whiskey. To help avoid this, go for a single malt.

[PaulieP]

so from what I read...

Beer = carbs = good for me because I train my *** off

?
haha, but I believe that no good can come from over indulgence

[ddssdv]

You are responsible for whatever you do including drinking. You get into trouble or are not PTing then its on you.

[toziongoesi69]

Yea, I kinda guessed beer was out of the question because I know those are empty calories. But what about the Whiskey and water I mean its not like I am doing it near as much as I use to and my drinks aren't mixed with soda anymore.

[honorman]

TEAM GUYS drink a lot of beer!! FYI!!

You need to get your liver ready for BUD/S and the TEAMS as well as your body!!

[Illmaxic]

lol, work hard, play harder

[B HURB]

I drink like it's my job bro, and I still do crossfit/pt on a daily basis and kick @ss. That's all you gotta worry about doing, kicking some @ss!

[infantry_scout]

I've heard that if you drink Bacardi rum (the clear stuff, not spiced rum) and Diet cola, there are no calories. I'm not sure how many carbs there are though.

[steml]

If I remember right your body can burn one mixed drink per hour - one beer per hour. So if you go out and have 8 drinks you should be back to square one in about 8 hours. Then you should start working out and training again so you can do it again the next night.

[montstar]

Personally I don't count calories like some "does my *** look fat in these jeans?" chick. If I'm gonna get **** faced on Friday the thing I'm gonna regret on Saturday is the fat chick I wake up next to not the empty calories.

But somebody who is trying to lose weight and get in shape for BUD/S, they need all the help they can get. For some people, they are fat asses and need to drop a few pounds. If somebody fits that description, and is downing a 6 pack of beer a couple nights a week, that will add to their fat ***.

[bustafood]

Man you guys sound like chicks. If I passed a guy a beer and he was worried how many calories were in it, I'd take it back and down it, then kick his ***.

Haha as long as you're still Pt'ing your *** off and keeping your numbers up, who cares.

[infantry_scout]

I was trying to be supportive to the guys that might actually be concerned about this, but to be honest, this is a pretty sissified thread. I heard the thing about the bacardi and diet from my buddy's wife. She is about 5'5", 110 lbs, and is CRAZY about her weight. If he hits 115, its the end of the world.

Calories in beer would only affect your overall weight if you drink multiple times a week, and are having problems with being overweight. But if you PT, and your height/weight is good, then don't worry about it. If you are really struggling to make weight, and you drink like a fish, then maybe consider cutting back until you get to a healthier weight.

One thing that is serious real quick: Drinking can cause you to be dehydrated, even in cold weather. I was in Japan for about 4 months last year and we were partying it up every night drinking sake and whiskey with the Japanese, and no sh*t, almost every day I was giving somebody in my platoon an IV because he was falling out of training from dehydration, and that was during the winter. So remember to take a shot of water or powerade for every shot of whiskey!

I've heard that if you drink Bacardi rum (the clear stuff, not spiced rum) and Diet cola, there are no calories. I'm not sure how many carbs there are though.

Don't know who you heard this from but it's the other way around...Bacardi and diet coke contains no carbs. Every shot of alcohol contains roughly 80 calories....more for the creamed liquors...Baileys, Kahula....I just don't recall the amount of calories per shot.

[infantry_scout]

I was probably backwards then, because that sounds familiar now. She probably so no carbs, I was just confused.

No worries!

[usnavysar]

well when im not on duty i get some suds. so what? you drink jack with water and a twist of lime?? no dude thats not a good thing. in fact i think your in the wrong board. lol. i think you should find yourself i nice air force forum somewhere!!! if your going to drink jack drink it like a man. dont add stuff. gee man thats horrible!! thats why we have to have that dont ask dont tell policy!! lol!! im just bustin your chops kid!! but really if you find it affecting your training then i would stop. if it doesnt then belly up to the bar and drink up. however i did notice your only 20 years old. the navy does not stand for underage consumpsion. you are bringing the navy down with your choices. so the next time you go to take a swig of your fruity waterd down jack think about the consequences it could have. 1.) if you get arrested. 2.) if someone sees you that shouldnt see you. think about that kid.

[toziongoesi69]

Yea, But this is also coming from a kid that has done a 55 second keg stand...I live in Destin Florida if you don't know where that is look it up. My Spring Break last about 2 full months. I am not saying I dont love my BEER, bring on the Natty (that is the poor college kids beer Natural Light) I was just wondering how much everyone truly did drink. But man I was just wondering if I could go out 3-4 times a week get hammered... kick the girl out of bed next to me and go do my PT without puking.

[toziongoesi69]

Ohh only 20 for 2 more months.

just gonna throw this out there... if you don't like it you can throw it right back... getting hammered decreases your testosterone levels by as much as 25% and increases estrogen by... i forget how much.

[toziongoesi69]

So I have no idea how to edit the post rather then keep posting. But I just kinda wanting to see what everyone thought about it was. Thanks a lot on everyones input on calling me a pu$$y and girlie for drinking my jack and water with some lime.

[bustafood]

haha natural light, hell yea. It's like $15 for a 30 rack out here. Pong beer for sure.

I've moved up a little after trying all the good kinds at my waitering job...blue moons, imperials, sapporo, and all other types. I love to appreciate a good beer. Might be the greatest invention ever.

[montstar]

i think you should find yourself i nice air force forum somewhere!!! if your going to drink jack drink it like a man. dont add stuff.

ha so much for mutual respect between the branches

Well there's something to brag about...yep...a 55 second keg stand! WOW....that's awesome dude. :cool: BTW any girl who would get into a bed with your natty breath has clearly done a 90 second keg stand and was so wasted she wasn't seeing straight.

Are you working out now? Puking now after getting hammered the night before when you workout? Maybe you should just lay off of all the alcohol until you're legal!!!!

:D

We body surfed the pier pilings....our ensign who had broken both arms fighting in a Tijuana....jail....for his life....was running the pier right next to us....off we bale...in front of a dozen fishermen.....back to BUD/S at 3:30 am....littered.....no sleep....breakfast O-course....and the rest of the wonderful day!! And yes the Only East Day Was Yesterday!!

For the record, alcohol has about 7cals/g. Compare that to 4cals/g for carbs and proteins and 9g/cal for fats.

On a side note about drinking in the Teams...I'm not a SEAL, but, I believe the Plan of the Day, everyday is:

"Play/Fight like an all-star, party like a rock star, and hammer like a porn star."

[toziongoesi69]

Yea...I sometimes look good beer but it gets expensive really quick though. I am glad this has turned into a big joke and isn't so serious anymore. But now I will start drinking in moderate conditions again.
