Calories in beer 21:26 - Apr 16 with 3182 viewscolinallcars

I read today that in its battle against obesity, the government wants the calorie count to be shown on beer.
Imagine a bloke in Scotland saying “give us a pint o' Heavy pal”

Doesn't sound like a terrible idea but doubt it'll solve much with Obesity.

We probably drink less beer now than we have for decades,but the government think there’s a problem with the amount of calories in it.
Do they honestly think people will only go out for a swift 500 calories?

208 calories in a pint of beer. Not as many as people think. Obviously if you have 4 pints and a couple of kebabs you are on about 28,000 calories for the day.

Never knowingly right.

I'm old enough to remember when there was no indication of the ABV on beer pump clips.
Whilst you could mostly tell if a beer was strong by the taste, some people got caught out when drinking in an unfamiliar place.

I'm not sure if it would work with beer but it definitely stopped me buying cake in coffee shops when I realised one small cake was the fifth of my daily calorie allowance.

Though I prefer the idea of how far I'd have to exercise to work it off. I might then think I'm prepared to walk for an hour to work off that packet of crisps. Win-win.

There a facts and then there are alternative facts. Donald Trump said so, so it must be true.

In that case, beer makes you big and clever. And cures baldness.

I remember being in a village pub in the wilds of Hertfordshire years ago (late 70’s?) and a bloke came in and asked for a pint of Double Diamond, sorry sir we don’t sell that here says the barman, give me a pint of your strongest ale then says the punter, a pint of Greene King Abbott Ale is poured, punter drinks it, this is p**s water says the punter, 3 pints later he falls off the bar stool!!

Excellent. One Sunday morning many years ago, my two brothers, myself and our brother in law nipped around the corner to the Norfolk Arms. We hit the bar right on opening and started the ordering when this look of dismay swept across the in laws face, expressing total disgust at the choice of beers (he was from rural Gloucestershire), he snidely accepted our recommendation to just drink the lager and enjoy the banter. My sister could have killed us when we got back for dinner a few hours later, bloke was literally dribblin'...

"when I realised one small cake was the fifth of my daily calorie allowance"

And there is the fundamental issue that can easily be resolved Nix.

If you don't give yourself a 'daily calorie allowance', then the calories within one small cake becomes an irrelevance allowing you to enjoy it without the guilt.

That's an excellent strategy Bosh. I now feel inspired to ignore any attempt at calorie counting. Cheers, I suddenly fell like a beer 🍺...

I had three large bottles of some Henry Westons cider the other day. I've no idea how many calories were in them, but my legs wouldn't work properly after.

Dangerous thing these calories

They can put what they like on it I'm only interested in the % and what type of ale it is.

'Fatty blond' sounds like some of the things I used to see heading to The Palais. Or should that be Grimbergen.
