Beer is just raw bad calories... on a limited caloric intake, if one wants to waste enough to have a couple beers, it's hard to find enough other raw carbs to cut.  It's no different than eating half a loaf of bread for no reason, there's just no room on a cutting diet.  If a person can't do that they're probably not going to succeed anyway.  It has happened to me on more than one attempt.

Awesome, and I feel your pain about Nutella.  The crazy thing is that it's not made with hydrogenated oil in Europe.  I guess they send us the export version, which is, naturally, crappier to suit the American lifestyle.

*Edit* If you have an Aldi supermarket nearby, then they usually have a non-hydrogenated Belgian Nutella alternative that's really comparable.  I think it's called Choceux or Choceur.

God, I just burst out laughing when I read that . . .

ChadTower:

Beer - liquid bread.

Sometimes I wonder, though, does that make crap like Budweiser liquid Wonder Bread?

Yeah, I'm not against beer that's been properly brewed, but then I don't hit the sauce very often, despite my homebrewing hobby.
