Good news for you: bourbon, brandy, gin, rum, tequila, vodka, and whiskey all have ZERO carbs. And beef jerky has more than you think: 3.1.

You needed Atkins to tell you its wiser to drink booze than beer? I love beer, but after first semester of college, I realized just what beer does to a person's appearance. I think beer drinkers actually age faster than wine and booze swillers. I don't know any wine fans who spill over the stools at bars or look like Chris Farley in their suits. The beer drinkers I know look like shit. I think its got something to do with the massive amount of calories they're intaking. I'll go out and have four or five galsses of the hard stuff or a bottle of champagne and maybe an Amstel, while these guys will suck down four or five Sierra Nevadas or 8 Budweisers. And beer offers no bang for the buck. You have to drink a gallon of the stuff to get a buzz, and the buzz is a lousy sloppy, lethargic feeling. It also makes you smell. If you have three or four drinks, you may have a slight odor of booze, but beer is like garlic - it gets in your pores and oozes out everywhere.
I notice a lot of beer drinkers are ex frat guys who use the stuff like prozac. It gets them neither high nor low and it tastes good with wings. They get fatter and get laid less and less and become "guy's guys." Thankfully, my libido never allowed me to join that slow death dirge.
Now of course, nothing beats a Samuel Smith's Chrsitmas Ale or a fresh Anchor steam from the tap. But they're like hot fudge sundaes. You can't have five or them...
