Get StartedI've been thinking of switching to liquor myself, but I just can't decide which one. I've tried gin a couple times with the intention of drinking gin and tonics, but after the first one I always end up switching to orange juice, so not only am I taking in calories but also the sugar is sky-high. I wonder what the caloric content of grain alcohol is?That's a lot of carbs.
A person should change out some of the beers for shots of whiskey instead.

I had a friend who supposedly had researched carb/sugar content of liquor because he was trying to lose weight, but still wanted to be able to drink heavily and get absolutely hammered. (I have great friends) his solution was vodka with a splash of soda water, or flavored soda (like a Schweppes, or La Croix). I mean soda in the Michigander sense, of course, not pop. that was the lowest carb/sugar content available for heavy drinking options.
My personal preference is scotch on rocks with a decent splash of water. a cheaper blended scotch, like Cutty Sark or J&B. Not an expensive single malt. Jameson's irish whiskey also works.
If I'm having more than one drink these days, I stick to beer or wine.
I also find myself drinking more cheap, low-carb beers... Miller Lite mostly.
getting older is awesome...
I was never a big beer drinker, but I don't mind the taste of IPA's, and all I need is a few of the high alcohol ones and I'm set.

I'm pretty much 99% always Mickey's grenades and Jack Daniels old number seven.
Michamp, how do you stumble upon all this.... errrrr better not say.
Are you looking out for it or does it just fall from the sky onto your lap?
I've seen some contradictory evidence on that. It does play into my though process a bit though. Can't waste this andro that i'm taking.
