^^Honestly, a high calorie intake, including your beloved beer, isn't really an issue in terms of losing weight and/or controlling it; in fact a high calorie intake will more than likely help to raise your metabolism as long as you get regular exercise.
As always the key issue here is output; that and metabolism, hence counting calories on a calorie restricted diet and trying to calculate exactly how much you need to exercise to burn off that extra pint or a slice of pizza doesn't mean shit.
A fit young man will easily burn 5000kcal or more a day sitting on his arse. So presuming for the sake of argument that you're not exactly obese, an average of an hour or two a day riding your bike, depending on intensity, and basically you can eat and drink whatever you fucking want and still lose weight.
Simples!
