The 24 hours beer diet ? Those hard drinkers are all skinny.

Eating 2200 till 2500 kcal a day if your big and burning 500 kcal a day.
It' ll work , but hey what's new ? :-)
Hang on to it mate , I'll support you by drinking a beer. :-)

Probably hanging on to stop smoking is the most important. :-)
