Sodas are bad for you but beer is full of all natural stuff and, since I don't eat any animal products it is a good source of protein (okay, that's a stretch but you find justification where you can). You got me worried now -- do you really think it is unreasonable to have a few (6 or so) beers at night?

Your tolerance is high enough that it's not an alcohol problem (in that you are obviously not drunk every night). I would be concerned about all the empty calories. The OM, having been diagnosed with his high blood pressure thing, stopped drinking Mic Ultra at home, and dropped 5 pounds in a month, with no other changes to his diet or exercise. Lance Armstrong drops 5 pounds as soon as he cuts out the Shiner Bock at the end of Winter. (Mmmmm . . . Shiner Bock.)
Thrasher, since you are a vegetarian, I have to highly recommend Gardenburger's new Herbed Cutlet. It's just about the best veggie food ever. High in protein, incredibly delicious.
