You can't just piss out whatever it's a set mechanism. Lots of things are diuretic if that was true you could just add caffeine to every drink and piss it out . Pretty sure you can get fat off monster too
Not so much you know what a unit of alcohol means. They don't mean a full glass by a drink.
Yes beers will make you plump. I've seen a swing of my weight up to 11 stone when drinking frequently but it returns down to just above 10 when I'm not
That makes it a lot easier to get to 14 then.Not so much you know what a unit of alcohol means. They don't mean a full glass by a drink.
I usually get beer that's 8% or more (10% is a good one for me). That would make it 4 drinks if it's one full glass. Then two would be 8. If I had three that would be 12. Yoiks.
Units tend to add up quicker than people think
When you sit down a regular drinker and add it all up it can be quite disconcerting to them
For laughs (or not) get people to fill out one of these:

My result is five.
Nah 5 is fine, it's when people who don't believe they have a problem ending up scoring high. If they've never thought about it it can come as a bit of a surprise
0-7 low risk, 8-15 increasing risk, 16-19 higher risk, 20 possible dependence
There is a follow up questionnaire, wonder if I can find it

I drink about 8-10 beers over a weekend when I'm out, most weekends, but they are strong beers (10-14%, doppelbock).
during work lunch we have a beer, but usually 5.5%, so overall a week I would say I have 14 beers on average.
of course with summer, on hot days, maybe my friends and I spend a bit more time at beer gardens lol.
if you exercise you should be fine. although it also depends on genes/body shape.

I'm on a diet but I also drink 2 beers almost daily, so I can testify that yes, beer belly is a real thing. I'm shedding weight but that damn belly won't go down because of the beers.
There's around 200 calories in an average 12 oz. microbrew. You can drink every night and it's easily managed if you get a decent amount of exercise (I walk 5+ miles a day.)
Drinking is great, the best thing ever.

Yep. Somewhere along the line, I traded in my six pack for what appears to be two 40's.
No but really, as long as you don't consume too MUCH of it, you should be fine. It's a bunch of carb calories. One or two a night won't do much as long as you're staying within your caloric intake, but yeah if you're drinking 10-12 beers a night, things aren't going to go well.
