Hobnobbing with Brzilianers update.

4,910 just in that lot by my reckoning (if you got full fat drinks). Either way, that is impressive work. Although I must congratulate you on your self-denial in not also ordering a Filet O'Fish.

I would certainly have had one if I had thought of it.

This morning I got stuck into the breakfast buffet as well. Luckily it was, in the way of these things, barely edible.

Well it's good to see you following the wife's orders and fattening yourself up a wee bit. You don't want to spend too much time on the AIDSey-looking side of thin.

Fúcking hell, I've just remembered. I staggered into KFC, ate a 3 pieve variety meal, staggered out straight into McDonalds and had a Big Mac and large fries. After all that Guinness! I must have had 5,000 calories yesterday.

rejuvenated bugle hole?

You don't often find that the concurrent consumption of Class A stimulants and large quantities of fast food go hand in hand, h.

Do you want to know something comforting regarding booze calories? OK, well listen up...

Calories are a measure of energy contained within food/drink. Your body is not efficient enough to absorb 100% of these calories immediately upon ingestion. Rather, the longer the food remains within your guy, the more opportunity your body has to harvest the bounty of calories.

Now, as you can imagine, booze spends rather less time in your digestive tract than food (typically 1-2 hours, but less when on a session). Therefore, it's entirely probable that on a large session your body only absorbs approximately 15% (depending on a number of factors included, but not limited to; the amount of food eaten prior to binge & the extent of the binge) of the calories in the booze.

So what you're saying is that we can drink as much as we like without getting fat?

This is splendid news, r. I assume I can quote you as an authority should my GP ever have the temerity to suggest I reduce my consumption?

Are you making things up again?

Just the roids, h.

Well I don't work for the NHS these days. However, they clearly cannot dispense that sort of advice. In the same way, they have to ignore papers published that statistically prove there is a correlation between regular consumption of tannins (red wine) and reduced levels of heart disease.
