Losing weight: Socialising?

[One]

I'm a big drinker, how do I go to the pub on a Friday or Saturday night and order anything other than 10 pints without looking like a bender?

What are your experiences with socialising while trying to lose weight? Can it be done? Is it best to leave my lifestyle alone and find a way to lose weight that fits in with it?

Drinking 10 pints and losing weight don't come together too well IMO.

You need 10 pints to socialise? More fool you.

Don't drink, drink less, don't go or drink spirit and diet mixer.
Pick whichever you like but sticking an extra 2000kcals in every weekend in beer will mean you won't get very far.

If people judge you for being a bender for not ordering 10 pints they are a little... odd.

Socialise with better people.

Agreed... Lose weight, get new friends?

Grow up.

Or get more mature friends. Ones who understand that not drinking ten pints doesn't make you gay.

Lol.

Whisky & diet coke was my alternative for a while when I need to shift some weight. Back to the pints now!

Just run a half marathon during the day every Friday and it will balance out. You can then lose weight by dieting Sunday to Thursday. If you are not able to run a half marathon every Friday I would suggest drinking less.

All the boring people always show up in these threads....

I'll stay fat then thanks. 10 pints was an exaggeration in case you couldn't tell. I have pints at the weekend as do my mates but they and aren't fat so presumably it can be done.

 

[LOAM]

Embrace the bender tbh.

Wheatgrass Juice and Vodka.

Presumably this half marathon could be spread out throughout the week?

Back pedalling hard there I see. It doesn't look like an exaggeration to me

Just drink neat vodka.

Drive there and have some diet cokes.

Someone says "you not drinking gaylord?" and you reply "I'm driving". End of discussion.

Lol you noob, I don't drink 10 pints night.

Drink two pints, socialise and lose weight by not drinking another eight pints. It’s that simple.
