WEll, I am delighted that their are others out there with some advice. I will check into other types of beer. Here on the Rock the variety is still limited.
I thought I was doing wonderful having rum and diet pepsi but this morning I was reading the label on the pepsi bottle and was SHOCKED to see that for every 1/2 cup there are 108 carbs...cripes. I am not sure where the carbs are coming from, maybe the caramel colour or something, but I am off the diet drinks in rum for sure now...
Cheers
