Learn to love water. I drink 'Propel' fitness water if I *really* need a Gatorade style drink. Its ~40 calories for a liter of water. Also those beers are 150 cals/ea. A good night of drinking (8 beers?) is 1200 calories, or half of what you need for the day. Toss in the snacking that comes with drinking and your probably easily at a days worth of calories for a normal person.
