For example, if you had two big old glasses of beer, you drank 355 calories and apparently could have had something called a "jaffa cake." We're not sure what a "jaffa cake" is, but it looks fattening.

]]>I'm a bartender, and I know for a FACT that Miller Lite is 96 calories. 4ML ~ 400 calories. Yet somehow, 4 beers to them is considered 715 calories.
WRONG! Unless you're drinking Guinness with apple cider in it, maybe.
If they're trying to prove a point, maybe they should base their calorie count on the LOWEST calorie beer (MGD 64), not the HIGHEST. Or at least the MEAN.
]]>See, I thought you were talking about Spiderman.
Nerd.
]]>Well thats why I drink straight Scotch
]]>I guess one could say it's kind of like fried onions, but with chickpea flour, Indian spices, and other forms of awesome.
]]>It is a liquid grain storage facility.
]]>@oregongal: No no no YOU SAID DEATH!
]]>mix with club soda instead, it has no calories...
]]>Bamba's 4 life! /barf
]]>Ah, jaffa cakes. We take them completely for granted over here; its hard to imagine that other countries don't actually have them.
I suppose you've got your strange delicacies - like "smores" and "twinkies"...
]]>man what happened to my internet sarcasm? i used to be so much better at my typed sense of humor. i should drink more.
]]>For instance, that 128oz. "Longest Island" which is so favored at the bar I frequent is something like 3500 calories... ugh. That's like an MRE, or the equivalent to a typical american's intake for a WHOLE DAY.
]]>in america that just means you lose pay.
]]>good thing when i drink i don't usually eat the next day...
]]>@Jabberkaty: Judging from my last trip to London, when they get really drunk, this is what they eat, assumedly because they don't have any sliders in the UK.
]]>if you've ever had roast beef with gravy and mashed potatoes you've just eaten british food since that's the sunday dinner.
]]>The BBC's "Alcohol Experiment" shows you the amount of calories you consumed while drinking last night - or any night - and then translates them into (British) food.
Why the hell would they translate them into a unit of food that nobody actually eats?
What's their next project - a scale that tells you your weight in Newtons ?
]]>But I don't drink often, so...I don't feel so bad about it.
]]>@unobservant: Yeah, that would make me mad if I didn't feel sorry for you. Drinking is fun!
]]>@AshleyKeen: I agree, the site is worthless. Vodka has far fewer calories than Whiskey but it treats them the same! And good call; martinis are calorie free.
]]>@The Name's Ash78, Housewares: Nice redirect, and I concur. Also, I will beat your ass at Goldeneye. Oddjob rocket launcher to the face.
]]>My roommate went home to get his N64 and Goldeneye. We all rushed the thrift stores in the tri county area looking for controllers!
]]>Go check your facts before spewing bile please. Thank you.
]]>Because I haven't had my coffee and feel like making up sh|t to rile up the masses...
Well, people who choose to drink obviously have no concern for their well being in the first place. Who cares if you're fat if the cirrhosis kills you first?
Cue angry mob in 3... 2... 1...
]]>As for a drink, right now I'm nursing a nice hot cup of tea (its bloody FREEZING here)
]]>Funnily enough the "kids" are still getting hammered on the same old cheap high-strength cider around here.
]]>@12-Inch Idongivafuck Sandwich: That's Limey for "Malternative" :D
]]>No, orange/ginger hair isn't worth the effort.
]]>This tool does me no good. I'm a girly drinker with an occasional Guinness. It's telling me 175 for the beer... but I'm just going to keep on assuming that those martinis are calorie-free!
]]>@GavinEstecado: If they had Goldeneye for the Wii, I believe I'd weigh 300#. That game for N64 resulted in more college drinking than any other source.
(trying to keep it on topic).
]]>Problem solved.
]]>Damn I miss them. Stupid orange allergy.
]]>Mmm Jaffa cakes...
]]>So the English drink at night now, too? Interesting ;)
I enjoy a couple beers as much (or far more) than the next guy, but there is no shorter road to ruin than drinking your calories--any of them.
