I put on 4kgs over March/April. I’m telling myself it’s mainly salt and water. Beer should be negative calories because of all the hops but alas! 

@Neal_G a brewmaster told me that beer has zero calories but it's what you eat with it that adds on the weight unfortunately :) 

I wish. It’s 4 to 5% alcohol which is 7 calories per gram, and about 2 grams of carbs which is 4 calories per gram. It’s empty calories, meaning no nutritional value. But it not zero. And yes he’s right in that no one wants to eat a salad after a few pints. Salty meaty goodness goes well with a frosty!
