Can anyone confirm that drinking spirits is less likely to cause a beer belly and generaly speaking a lighter hang over than drinking pints?

It's true, spirits aren't high in calories, beer is!
As for the hangover... if you drink enough of anything you'll have a hangover!

i dont get hangovers

- my 21st i drunk so much i cant remember it - got up and was fine

but yea Spirits have less calories

i tend to have a few beers with dinner then move on to spirits when im going out

i thought beer bellys were to do with the lifestyle that accompanies heavey drinkers and not actually the cals in the drink

I'd guess the calories help though.

True, but the calories dont help

Dreadi · 5 May 2006 at 14:12

i think being lazy helps more

Probably more to do with quantites. You don't drink spirits by the pint (Well, I hope not). Beer you do.

i say beer and then spirits if you are on a big night out

but i can drink beer at anytime, whereas i have to be in the mood for spirits

Darkwave · 5 May 2006 at 14:15

I can't stand the taste of beer, lager, or bitter. Call me a wuss.

I will drink any spirit though.

They're caused by excessive amounts of calories (not being burned by your body); which includes beer.

I wake up with hangovers no matter what I drink. In fact I quite often feel as though I have one when I have not been drinking at all

I sit in an office all day! I could manage on 1600 Cals a day without feeling hungry. So when I eat a normal days food of 1600 cals PLUS the 1500 Cals in 5 pints of Bulmers, plus the curry chip after a drinking session, it's very easy to put on weight. If I go a few weeks without drinking people would comment that I lost weight, or look well, etc! But I like beer too much!

yeah so if people were more active and not so lazy the calories would be burnt thus eliminating the belly...

Pretty much,

Hence dancing at night clubs is a must, burn off the calroies you;ve drunk

Greenlizard0 · 5 May 2006 at 14:23

I love vodka with almost anything. I usually wake up the following day feeling groggy, but not really with that much of a hangover!

Dreadi · 5 May 2006 at 14:24

therefore smoove, i can confirm that beer isnt what gives you the beer belly so it doesnt matter what you drink, just dont be lazy
