Pmsl,,, you know that spirits are a lot better then beers right??? Hey also you will get drunk much much quicker when youdrink beers or spirits as without the carbs in your food, so on your finishing birthday day you may not need as many beers as you think, lol....it sounds like you have sorted where you are going with your eating, and by then you would have learnt portion control, but be really carefull about carb creep......I hope you have a brilliant time on your bday.....
