The Beer Drinker's Diet

The Beer Drinker's Diet book, published by Amazon.com's Booksurge, is gaining followers devoted to author Bradley Scott Cailor's methods of losing weight while responsibly enjoying alcoholic beverages. After losing 114 pounds of fat himself, he passionately inspires countless others to lose weight as well.

Well, don’t rush to judgment about this title quite yet! This book isn’t really about drinking; it is a book that is passionately and genuinely trying to bring health to a segment of society that is often overlooked. Hence the catchy title which, more or less, serves as a metaphor. The author enjoys some beers — like most of the world — hence the title of the book. In fact, critics are calling The Beer Drinkers Diet the most original and inspiring new weight-loss book available.

The premise of the book is quite simple: drinking alcoholic beverages is a pastime enjoyed by countless millions of people worldwide. It is part of many people’s lifestyle and seems to be the staple of entertainment at literally any social function. While many people totally abstain from drinking alcoholic beverages, most people generally drink regularly.

In fact, a 2006 survey states that 86% of Americans responsibly drink alcoholic beverages — that’s 176 million Americans.

An excerpt from the book helps set the author’s inspiring message: “The one thing that really aroused my interest on the somewhat controversial subject of drinking and dieting is when I recently overheard a conversation by the guy sitting next to me in the adjoining barber’s chair, while we were getting our hair cut. His heartfelt pleas rang out loud and brutally clear as he solemnly confided: 'My doctor ordered me to lose 20 pounds, and the book that I just read said that I absolutely must forego all consumption of alcoholic beverages for at least 60 days.’

"He was extremely distraught and highly agitated by this premise. I could have intervened in an attempt to set him straight — via the fact that I had just lost 114 pounds, and I drink beer every weekend — but I chose to mind my own business, as his sentiments probably echo the sentiments of society as a whole. This was good research!

"Seeing the agony on his face when dealt with the notion of giving up his favorite social vice — because he is an avid Lake Erie yachtsman — made it clearer than ever that this skewed hypothesis is simply not the answer. If people mentally suffer, via a displaced vice, they are more apt to fall off of their weight loss program due to frustration and misery, and go right back to where they were before. People need to know that the responsible consumption of alcoholic beverages — for most people — is a perfectly acceptable endeavor to engage in while trying to lose weight.”
