The problem with this method is that the person is more likely to over-drink and/or black out from a lack of nutrients and the booze. I heart food too much.

Sometimes this results in me having something greasy and fried from the chip shop on the way home, but more often than not I'm too drunk, go home and pass out and feel not only hungover but completely weak the next day., As in, I can barely move without getting out of breath and need to lie down to recover after every little thing I do.

In college, prior to a night out we'd make sure we had something to eat before hand so that we COULD make it a few hours on a few drinks without getting too drunk too early, sick, etc. You know, I’ve heard people say things like this before but for my friends and I, the opposite was always true.

If I am that worried about the calories or fat count of what I am drinking I just won't drink. I will admit that I know if I will be eating out and drinking a lot over the weekend I'll make a point to hit the gym at least one extra time. It usually ends up making me feel better anyways. Besides, I love food....why would I want to miss out on that? OH! You're my new favorite blogger fyi I can’t imagine skipping meals to drink.

Why not line your stomach with carbs first, so you can drink a bit more? Then again, I don't watch what I eat and count calories (beyond common sense along the lines of "okay, already had sweets, no more for the rest of that day"), so this is possibly irrelevant to my lifestyle.

Generally, I don't count calories, but when I am dieting, I just leave my drinking to one night a week instead of trying to budget it into a normal healthy day.

But the girls weren't necessarily the focus of the story. As I said, for all I know, they went home and ate double cheeseburgers. Or maybe thye were kidding - I have no idea and that isn't the point. We never know what anyone does behind closed doors. Hearing that comment made me think of the fact that there are people out there who deprive themselves of nutrition so they can have empty calories (like alcoholic beverages) - which as you pointed out is just a bad idea!
