Charlie, everything is relative. Measuring low-carb is in ones own mind. Ideally, no-carb is the nervana, but unpractical, and low-carb is were we all end up. Beer is not necessarally a no no. There are low carb beers on the market today, typically about 2.2 carbs per 12 oz serving. If you are unwilling to bypass the REAL BEER, at 20 carbs per can, and Lite beer, varies between 4.5 - 5.5 per. However, when comparing it to sodas, Diet Cola are 1 carb per 12 oz, and REAL COLA is 51...Lemonade is 40.... YIKES
Water is the drink of choice for any diet, containing 0... and with iced tea... 1 carb.  The wise dieter should drink plenty of water (8 to 10 glasses per day).

water consumption has been discussed alot on a mailing list I'm on. someone dug up some report that says 64 oz. per day plus an additional 8 oz. for every 25 lbs over your ideal weight.
