now THIS is a problem...

Just over a gallon of beer a week is still a hell of a lot of beer!
billf:
128 oz. per gallon times 8 gallons is 1024 fl. oz.
1024 fl. oz. is 85.3 - 12 oz. bottles of beer
So, 85 bottles over 42 days (6 weeks) is about 2-12 oz. bottles per day.
NightGod:
Yeah...two beers a day is still a hell of a lot of beer when it's EVERY day. It's also a metric ton of calories over the course of a year.
I maybe drink 10 beers a month, and that would be the exception, say, in summer, when I hit a few weekend BBQs. If I drank 4 gallons of beer a year, I'd be shocked.

Yep, I agree - lot of beer, lot of calories.

Some people drink coke, I drink beer. 12 oz of coke has 140 calories (http://www.thedailyplate.com/food-nutrition/food/coca-cola/12oz-355ml-coke-classic) and my favorite beer has 149 calories (http://www.thedailyplate.com/food-nutrition/food/miller-brewing-company/leinenkugels-honey-weiss)
But no one says anything when someone sits at their desk all day and drinks 3-4 bottles of coke, but 2 beers at night is a hell of a lot of beer?
I play competitive tennis 4+ hours per week, so I'm not too worried about the beer belly right now. My BMI is still under 25, so I'm considered "normal weight".
I drink beer because I enjoy the flavor and I think the best way to end a long day at work is to drink a beer while cooking some meat on the grill.
I just did a little calculation :). Since I have a barcode scanner attached to my kegerator to log all my beers, I found out that I have had 271 beers so far this year (191 days), so assuming all the beers were 149 calories (which they weren't, occasionally I order a keg of light beer), that averages to 211 calories from beer/day. That's less than the amount of calories in one 20oz bottle of coke.
