Unfortunately, no protein, no fat in beer. It metabolizes like a carbohydrate. Maybe a pina colada, in moderation, easy on the pineapple, heavy on the fat-laden coconut milk, with a few drops of rum flavoring...How do the Atkins people party, or do they abstain from alcohol all together?

Michelob Ultra. Not bad, and (if memory serves) <3 carbs a bottle.

Not sure that regular beer is FULL of carbs, though of course it has more.

Actually, there is a little protein in beer - the Bud Light sitting in front of me has 0.9 grams of protein. It would take an awfully large amount of them to get what I need, plus its incomplete protein, I'm sure.

Carb-wise, it has 6.6 grams per beer. Michelob has a low carb beer that cuts that in half, and Miller light is considerably lower (also tastes like horse-pee IMHO).

Good quality bourbon over ice. Can't beat it for taste or buzz.
