if i stop drinking for the next 20-25 days and ran at least 5 miles per day, 6 days per week (my norm) would i lose weight? i drink a lot of calories all weekend every weekend. probably like 2,000-3,000 worth.
how much weight woudl i lose in 20-25 days?
It takes about 3500 calories to lose a pound. Assuming you don't just eat more to find the calories anyway (which is what your body will want you to do) you'll lose about 3 pounds over 4 weeks.
Ok....Some round numbers. 2500 calories every weekend. Let's say 150 calories per beer. That's almost 17 beers per weekend. I went to one of the all time great binge drinking schools, but that seems excessive to me.
Instead of quitting drinking for 3 weekends, try cutting it in half permanently. You'll lose your 3 lbs in 6 weeks instead of 3 weeks and you won't just gain it back.
Besides, I think you might find other areas of your life enhanced by cutting back on the drinking.
I'm guessing that you will have a very difficult time cutting back. If you can't get by on 4 drinks a night on weekends, it's time to quit permanently. Seek help. Seriously.
17 beers is my Wednesday. Take your balls out of your purse.

Happy Wednesday!
I guess I should feel pretty badly when someone named Sally says I carry my balls in a purse.
It just struck me as funny that someone drinking that much would be concerned about losing a couple of pounds. It's sort of like smokers that worry about their teeth being yellow.
