Cool Site of the Week: Get Drunk Not Fat
Halloween brings candy. Thanksgiving provides a bounty of rich foods. Taking heavy turkey laden meals, tables full of sugary treats and throwing them both in a blender with a big helping of eggnog, Christmas seems determined to ensure that any of those new pairs of pants waiting for you under the tree won’t have a prayer of fitting you by the time Boxing Day rolls around. Is there anyway to stop the pudgy festive madness? You bet: it’s called Get Drunk Not Fat, and it’s our cool site of the week.
Get Drunk Not Fat is a powerful tool in the war to control our waistlines while simultaneously destroying our livers. Offering up easy to read information on the alcohol to calorie ratio of a staggeringly large number of adult-oriented beverages, the website is a great way to see how your favorite drinks could be affecting your diet. Beverages are organized by their alcohol content, with data on each drink also including the number of calories per serving, and where the beverage's data was culled from. If you’re not in the mood to scroll, Get Drunk Not Fat’s database is searchable, making it easy to find the information you’re looking for.

If you can’t find the drink you’re looking for, the site even offers a booze submission form, to make sure that future drinkers never have to go without valuable tipple information ever again.
Be sure to check in every Friday for another edition of Maximum PC’s Cool Site of the Week.

You guys have nothing else to write about? C'mon.
Is this MaxPC or isn't it? You're seriously scraping the bottom of the barrel gentlemen. Oh and by the way --- I'm a beer drinker. I'm 55 & skinny. If my weight were ever to become a problem (Trust me it won't) I think I'd be looking elsewhere for info.
WOW! I can't believe this idiotic article got posted.

I had to literally laugh out loud after reading your post.
Relax man. It's a cool site of the week. Just take it for what it is. MaxPC can do whatever they want.
Didn't you get the memo?
How can one complain about a single artical being posted on a tech website that gets updated daily?
You didn't like it.. but you clicked on it anyway.. and THEN instead of of backing out and continuing with navigating the site, you comment negatively on it..

Ok ... OK. Good point. Very good. But in my defense I did read the article and then posted. I try not to post anything no matter how much I'm tempted unless I read the whole thing ... whether I like the article or not or anywhere in between.
But ... C'mon man. This magazine used to be all about hardcore hardware & software. I long for the days that I would buy the mag and read it cover to cover and actually learn something from almost every single article in the issue.
If I really need to think about how many calories are in the beer I drink I'll google it. I do that for the sodium content in foods as I have to keep a serious eye on that in my case. And I'm not thinking that MaxPC might have a new cool site link or whatever along these lines so let me go there first. Hey -- I got chest pains .... well ... lemme check the MaxPC site .....
I'm just saying let's get on with more stuff like the 21 Prescription thing for PCs. Good article. How about coming on like a modern day 'Byte Magazine' ? Teach me something. Gimme stuff that I have to read at least twice to understand. Other things don't belong here.
At 55 years old -- 150 lbs (with rocks in my pockets & gel in my hair) - a 6'ft skinny ass (don't look like it by the way) .... I seriously couldn't give a sh*t about how many calories are in my beer -)

I know it's CRAZY to think about but some people might find this information useful. There are plenty of people out there who are geeks, like to drink and want to stay as healthy as they can while doing so. If you don't like it, don't click on the link and read it.
