Work out daily and still drink beer.

I had a German friend who said he could no longer drink beer after having bypass surgery. He claimed when digested it is transformed into carbohydrates.

Well, look at the ingredients. They call it "liquid bread". It IS carbohydrates.

Limiting your carbohydrate consumption can help you to lose weight. However, you should only embark on a low-carb diet at a doctor’s recommendation. This is because low-carb diets can lead to heart and bone health problems and nutritional deficiencies. [See Reference 1] Although drinking alcohol and dieting seem incompatible, a moderate intake of wine or beer can be a part of a low-carb diet. [See Reference 2] In general, though, wine is a much better option for low-carb eating.

Beer
Standard beers range from 10 to more than 20 grams of carbs in a 12-ounce glass. At the low end, stouts and lagers contain 10 to 11 grams in a glass. Porters, ales and wheat beers span the middle of the spectrum, with various flavors and sweeteners providing 12 to 20 grams of carbs per serving. Sweet, strong beers, such as barley wine, can contain as much as 25 grams of carbs in a 12-ounce glass. In contrast, light and low-carb beers generally contain just 2.5 to 10 grams of carbs in a 12-ounce glass. [See Reference 2]

Wine
Despite the range of carb content in beers, all varieties of beer are higher in carbohydrates than most red and white wines. In an average-sized glass, red wine contains 2 grams of carbs, while white wine has about 1 gram — less than even the lowest of the low-carb beers. Even sweeter, fortified wines are lower in carbs than most beers. Sherry, for example, contains only 5 carbs in a standard glass, about equivalent to a light or low-carb beer. Dessert wines go against this general trend, however, with these very sweet wines providing as many as 14 grams of carbs in a standard glass. [See Reference 2]
