Have you mentioned that?
No, not yet. Its a little sensitive as he also has gout so I think his drinking might be a little more problematic than he realises. He's taking steps in the right direction. I don't want to put any more pressure on him than he currently has.
I don't think its a coincidence that my biggest weight loss has come after 18 months of reducing my alcohol intake by 90%+. Even though I wasn't a regular drinker, it all adds up.
Its an interesting thought though. One 330ml can of beer per day over the course of a year works out at about 7.5kg of fat worth of calories. Based on 150 calories per can, which is what a fancy IPA packs now days.
A good friend of mine is struggling to shift his weight but has a can of beer and small bag of nuts "as a treat" after work every day.
