We all know it. Drinking beer gives you calories, and if you don’t burn them off you end up with bigger pants. This leaves us with a problem. What’s a Blue Beaver Beer lover (or a lover of any other beer) to do?
Ernie and I are willing to share our secrets with you as long as you promise not to use them for evil. Sense much fear in you do we.
The first and easiest calorie burning technique is the Arm Curl (I like to call them techniques because it sounds more expert-like). Firmly grasp your beer. Raise it to your mouth. Swallow. Lower your beer. Repeat.
The other techniques depend on which pub or establishment you frequent. For instance, the Sports Freak Technique. If your team is on the screen, you can jump up and yell ” Yeah! Woohoo!”. this will burn off some energy. Just try to time these exercises with goals, touchdowns, knockouts, etc. The louder you scream, the more energy you use and the more annoyed others will be, so this is a win-win action. If you are winning, you can yell “Your team sucks!” to opposing fans, and get in their face for added calorie use.
Darts can also be a high energy sport. Play a game of darts and the sweat will be just dripping off of you. The same goes for pool, or billiards. To raise an extra bit of sweat, put a $1000 on every game. This really works if you are a crappy player.
Gerri has been planning a brawl at our establishment, and I am sure you could lose some weight, or blood, fighting it out in the dirt road out back. Just be careful, I heard she packs a rusty knife.
But the best exercise you can get would be dancing. It’s fun, all the ladies are doing it and you score extra points with them. And in some places you can do your arm curls while you dance!
Tonight is brawl night isn’t it?
It certainly is. I hope your knife is good and rusty.
The rustiest. Let’s rumble.
Do you have an weight-loss programme for lemonade and tea drinkers?
Give me a couple days and I’ll invent- I mean, research one for you.
lol, never thought of darts or pool as fitness.
Weight Loss Blog’s last blog post..Weekly Update – 7/6/2008
LOL now that’s a novel take! On a serious note, dancing does get the job done. Aside from being fun, it’s very good exercise.
Running from bar to bar is always an option

Beer drinkers, hell raisers, yeah. Well, baby, don’t you wanna come with me?[
lombozs last blog post..LA WEIGHT LOSS RECIPES-WHY LA WEIGHTLOSS RECIPES?
i will invent .. you should avoid fatty food. beer doesn’t mater so much.
No matter what you drink (or eat), you should do it moderately. About exercising, playing exercise video games with friends and family can be both fun and effective for weight loss.
Haha, that was an entertaining post! Someone needs to make a exercise dvd, “Bar Room Brawl Weight Loss” … I’d buy it at least
I believe out of all the activities described here, dancing is the only one that can help burn enough calories to lose weight.
Interesting post. Made me chuckle a little. I’m forwarding this to my beer loving friends so they can read it too. Like what was said earlier, this would make an interesting diet/weight loss instructional video. I’d buy it as well so I have something to gift my beer friends.
Besides, why lay off on something tasty now? You live once right? Enjoy while you can!
Everyone wondered why I didn’t get a gut when I drank beer- now here’s acclaimed proof! You forgot to engage the lower half and core though- any recommendations?
Great weight loss program for beer drinkers.I like your win win approach as well dancing tip.I think this will burn some calories atleast.Thanks for sharing.
After 15 years of doing your “arm curls”, I can say that they are quite effective
So effective that I’ve now graduated to doing belly curls. Same idea, same technique, different body part
Come off it!, darts are for wimps, there is far too long between throws to make any weight loss effects.
Get an axe and go out and chop a tree down, now that is manly….GGrrhr
