Just something I was wondering about, recently.
In recent years I started at uni and my alcohol intake has obviously gone up a shit-load, (binging hard every weekend and then some) and with age my metabolism has gone down.
As a result, I'm getting chubby as hell! It's only just began to bother me, so I'm gonna try cut down to no more than 5 drinks per session. It's annoying because being shitfaced is fun.
My questions, boozers: What is your drinking schedule like, are you gaining weight - and if you've managed to curb it, what did you do?

I tweeted him back this:
His reply was just lol!
The reason you're getting chubby is simple, you eat more than you burn. Try doing some work outs, running, jogging, walking would be a good start. Limit your in take as much as possible. Focus on good stuff, target your weight and try to reduce it one pound at a time.
The best way is to get a good pace going that's easier for you to follow and will not derail you from weight losing scheme. All in all, you will require will power!
Wow, what an on topic and contributing post. :facepalm:
As for me, I would say my extra pounds are 50% booze, 25% diet, and 25% not enough exercise, I eat better than most, and I walk a lot, but I used to drink erryday, almost, and if my diet got bad for a while, or I wasn't getting enough exercise, the booze would pack on a few pounds until I smartened up.

"slowly unfattening"
Try drinking less, drinking more spirits and less beer which is basically liquid bread.
Only drink liquor mixed with good juices. (not soft drinks)
Eat a good meal an hour or so BEFORE you start drinking, not at 3 am when you have the munchies and feel like eating everything in sight.
You may also want to adjust some of your regular eating habits as well depending on what or how much you eat everyday.
Although, I usually drink spirits and exercise often as well as keeping a good diet.
Never considered doing liquor plus healthier shit. Thought I was doing so good putting away vodka + coke instead of 12 beers, but then did the math and realised it wasn't much better. :facepalm: I'm gonna start experimenting with juices and anything a little lighter.
Gonna be hitting the running and weights with my (drinking) bud too until I'm back on top boozing form
