I love beer, but it's actually not the best option if you're looking purely for the buzz. Beer has quite a few carbs, spirits have little to none.

Not sure, I lost count after 20 but I definitely a numerous amount of shots after 20...so maybe like 28 or something if it wasn't 30. Yeah, that night I thought I was gonna die. Not the smartest idea.


Honestly, I've never tried a spirit before. Might give it a shot tonight.

That's true, I had one on the beach in the afternoon and then 2 at a cookout around 6pm. Still, I'm often caught off-guard by how much stronger wine is.

Beer is a lot cheaper than a bottle of Vodka. And not as grimacing to the taste.

Um.. no. Counting calories helps me keep the weight off.

True. Plus the very small protein content of beer. It's worth it, though, for the more enjoyable taste.

Liquor and diet soda would be my preferred mixed drink. But some people add it to regular soda or sugary drinks, thus negating the benefit.

Yeah, wine is definitely much stronger....and honestly has more health benefits than beer.

I understand that you enjoy the taste of beer. However 240 ounces of anything in my stomach would be enough to make me hurl.

Not in France. Rum is the cheapest (in terms of alcohol/euro) followed by vodka. In Australia where I spent a month though I used to get smashed on beer only - spirits are mind-numbingly expensive there.

How much is a 70 cl bottle of entry-level vodka where you live? You can find one for less than 10 euros in supermarkets here.

Isn't tequila a spirit?

My drink lately has been Vodka and Sprite Zero. Not many calories and still gets you hammered.
