How To Get Drunk And Not Get Fat

Beer

While this may seem like a "duh" category, the average beer, by itself, is one of the least caloric beverages one can drink in a night.  The problem is the quantity.  Because of its comparatively low alcohol content, beer encourages binge-drinking.  Obviously, overweight frat boys should be avoiding keg stands.  But the true test of the fit-smart drinker is picking the right beers, and drinking them in reasonable amounts.
