I'm in a sorority in college and it's crazy how many girls starve themselves just to drink. And it's not like starving yourself and then drinking rum and diets which are the least caloric, but it's more like starving yourself to drink budweiser and budlight HELLO. My room mate last year getting ready for spring break would eat a veggie burger for lunch and veggies for dinner and then drink 7nights of the week. Although she did lose SOME weight...seriously how healthy is that? And guess what...she's gained back the weight plus 10! It's crazy and DUMB just like you said. Anyways, I loved your tone and the way you put it. I definitely second that.<BR/><BR/>Carrie <BR/>thecollegeskinny.comAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1704170106558126102.post-79349130835555605432008-03-18T10:30:00.000-04:002008-03-18T10:30:00.000-04:00I've always liked a cold beer on a hot day...or in a hot bathtub! :)<BR/>I'm currently brewing a batch of strawberry wheat beer.

Tastes like a cross between mild radish and mild turnip. Or you can cook it like turnip, but I find it best raw.<BR/><BR/>Allergic to hops, so no beer for me please.<BR/><BR/>Happy St. Paddy's all.Rebhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05318594769530526005noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1704170106558126102.post-50603471084097491632008-03-17T14:07:00.000-04:002008-03-17T14:07:00.000-04:00I'm blaming St Patrick's Day for the fact that my stats have been low for 4 days.

I mean, you starve yourself, are super hungry, drink excessive amounts of alcohol and then get ridiculously drunk, which will generally have the consequence of causing you to do something either silly or stupid (or both!), and then you likely throw up which is never fun (especially for the sober ones who need to take care of the drunks), and the next day you've got a massive headache. AND to cure the hangover, you're probably going to eat crappy food (not to mention skipping out on any exercise because you feel sick).<BR/><BR/>...who needs logic! :)Saganhttp://livinghealthyintherealworld.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1704170106558126102.post-19696723468653683662008-03-17T13:04:00.000-04:002008-03-17T13:04:00.000-04:00Never tried green beer, and the best beer (coming from someone who doesn't like beer) I ever sipped was in a Irish pub outside of Shannon - back before I started eating clean. ;)<BR/><BR/>Hope you have a happy St. Patrick's Day - thanks for the chuckle! :)JoLynn Braleyhttp://www.thefitshack.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1704170106558126102.post-57780537350859519132008-03-17T11:29:00.000-04:002008-03-17T11:29:00.000-04:00Supposedly there aren't any snakes in Ireland.<BR/>I was always taught that St. Patrick is credited with having driven all the snakes out.

My first trip out of the hemisphere was to Ireland! The people were terrific and I enjoyed my trip to the emerald isle immensely! I don't think snakes and beer have a connection, but maybe after having a few, it will become clear.<BR/><BR/>Dr. JAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1704170106558126102.post-56752174565165051372008-03-17T11:01:00.000-04:002008-03-17T11:01:00.000-04:00Must confess: I've never actually tasted kohlrabi.

Beer. Good for us?! Woohoo.<BR/>Starving oneself all day in order to drink beer? Well, you'd certainly save money, 'cause drinking on an empty stomach makes you get drunk faster...<BR/><BR/>Waddayamean, more than one a day isn't good for us? Ya can't bank 'em for the week and drink them all at once?
