It's really a YMMV thing with booze. Beer does have carbs in it...I would guesstimate that a pint of decent lager has at least 10 carbs. Pilsner would have less, and bitter would have the most, maybe 25 carbs or so to a pint. But that's just a guess. I've never been able to find any carb count info on beer...and in any case, although I do like to drink, I hardly remember what beer tastes like anymore. I just don't want to spend the carbs on it so I go for wine or vodka, or bourbon if I'm feeling really naughty. Many people find that beer is a problem for them (in terms of stalling), while other alcohols are not. But some people have no problem at all, and happily drink beer every night while losing weight. You have to experiment and see what it does to you.
