Alton and I agree on eating food in moderation. I've
been telling people that for years. As for beer, I have an occasional Guinness which I acquired a taste
for in London.

Guinness isn't that bad, I think it is in the 120-130 calorie range for a pint.
Thats why it floats when you make black & tans, it is a semi-light beer but extra yummy in flavor.
