burning off calories from alcohol by dancing

[Robbo]

as the title says..... im wanting to know, if i burn off the calories etc from drink by dancing all night in a club?

around 6 pints pre nightout in the pub then 12-16 bottles of VK while im in the club. dancing pretty much 90% of the night from maybe 11.30 til 3.00

how many calories you reckon are burnt off? would i burn them drinks off?

reason im asking is im getting a belly on me and i reckon its from drinking fridays and saturdays every week.

i eat healthily(ish)

cheers :)

[Jacko]

LOL mate! thats hilarious! :y:



1) You don't actually burn through THAT many calories when doing exercise.
If you weighed 170lbs and ran 3 miles you would burn around 330 calories.

2) MORE IMPORTANTLY;

There are 90 calores in 1 unit of alcohol.

A pint can contain around 3.5 units!
1 pint (568ml) X 6%alcohol content = 3,408

Divided by 1,000 = 3.408, or 3.4 units. X 6 pints = 20.4 Units

VK is 4%? correct me if I'm wrong (I don't really drink at all - except the night before my competition I had to drink a bottle of dry white wine to dehydrate myself even more that I already was. mmmm, no alcohol for 6 months and then a bottle of wine! I was wasted).

Think the bottles are about 300ml so;

300 x 4 = 1200, or 1.2 units. X 16 bottles = 19.2 Units.

Add that to the beer 20.4 + 19.2 = 39.6 units of alcohol.

That means you drink, 39.6 UNITS of Alcohol in a night. x 90 calories = 3,564 calories.

By the way - 39 units of alcohol is nearly double the recommended intake for an average male, FOR A WEEK!



NOW, assuming you are around 160lbs in bodyweight, your body only needs around 3000 in a typical day.

So, including your diet (you may eat 3,500 calories in a day) and then your alcohol, you may have consumed in the region of 7,000 calories in a day. More than double what you need.

So, don't be surprised if you are adding weight.




BUT DON'T DISPAIR;

Complex calculations show that you can drink as much as you are doing, and lose weight, if you dance for 16.34 hours in a night!!

i dont know who you are but your posts are incredible.

[alextoffie]

hahaha i love how his solution is to dance for 16.34 hours per night, precisely... brilliant! :)

tbh i don't know how you can drink that many bottles of VK... horrible stuff!! i'd stick to the beer lol

im liking your logic and calculations, thank you :)



i dont know who you are but your posts are incredible.

agreed, every post iv seen from this bloke is in blue writing and a really good read! came out of nowhere hasnt he?

:)

[David]

This guy rocks...!

[Jacko]

he has been banned from this before i think.

he has no rep power but reeks of green blobage, which means a few big rep chracters have repped him i think.

who is/was he?

[PosiBlue]

I don't think i'd be able to move after 39.6 units of alcohol in one go, never mind dance!

[VTR_Nick]

The guys rocks from the posts i have seen repped

[Robbo]

I don't think i'd be able to move after 39.6 units of alcohol in one go, never mind dance!

saying that he quoted lager as been 5%... is fosters 5%?

it could be lower than 39 units, and it is over a 6 hour stretch or whatever. lol

I drink Stella myself and that is 5.2% ABV. I think Foster is slightly less.

Even over a 6 hour stretch to get the alcohol out of your system takes a long time.

they say an hour per unit dont they?

that cant be right 40 units surely now i think about it. a 70cl bottle of vodka is like 20 or so isnt it?

[grantlowery]

12-16 bottles of VK!
Your not a man, your a machine lol

[Robbo]

quoting myself.....

tesco's 70cl bottle of vodka at 37.5% has 26 units of alcohol in it.

one of them and im on my arse....something doesnt add up here.

edit: or am i just confusing myself?

It all depends, you don't get rid of the alcohol if you carry on drinking, you are just replacing it.

Just think, some people who get stopped the morning after a night out are still over the limit, even some who've only had a few pints.

aye see what your saying


ive moved away from the original question here like.

so while im on the subject of losing the belly, whats the best way to go about it?

my mams got a treadmill which i can use if thats any good or is it best to go to the gym etc? ideas?

[VTR_Nick]

it's becuase he's worked it out to VK being 4 units i think when VK is actually about 1.5 units a bottle as far as i can remember

[PosiBlue]

No he's worked it out at 1.2 but it is 1.5 I think, but he's also used 6% ABV for the pints, that must be some strong stuff!

Do you mean I have been banned form this forum before??

Not true. I've never been on this forum!! As for the green blobage, I have no idea. Presumably a moderator or administrator liked the posts and gave me a bit of credit.

Either way, I couldn't care less about the statistics beside my user name. Doesn't mean a thing.


As for who I am??

Hope this helps a little!

I enjoy helping people out. I'm glad the posts have been of some use to a few of you, and I hope the information goes some way to helping you achieve your own physique goals.


As for my calculations Robbo, I guessed at 6% alcohol content for larger, but the miller in my hand says 4.7, so maybe 5% was a better guess.
As for the VK, that was a complete guess at 4%. Never drank the stuff.

Either way, you can be looking at 2,500 calories with 5% beer, and 4% VK.

Its a lot of calories. And the length of time it takes you to drink has no relevance whatsoever to the calories consumed. Maybe to the alcohol, but not the calories. It just means in a given 24hour period, you may have consumed nearly double your recommend calorie intake. When you body has double what it needs, then it will most likely store some of those extra calories as fat.
Even if you are just doing this twice a week, it will still have the effect of leading to fat storage.

Good luck mate

PS, the website hasn't been updated in AGES, so apologies for that. Also, the discussion forum will not work, as I removed this a few months ago.

I had my own health and fitness forum with a few hundred members, but it just took up too much of my time.

I'm sure most of my video series is still on youtube. search for "natural bodybuilding" its called the natural bodybuilding show. Just a bit of fun really.

[quadcamv6]

it's becuase he's worked it out to VK being 4 units i think when VK is actually about 1.5 units a bottle as far as i can remember

I worked VK out as being 1.2 units.

The only thing this depends on is the alcohol content, which I guessed was 4%.

Someone who actually drinks this may like to clarify.

[VTR_Nick]

Cool. thanks mate, the posts have helped me. Basically if your trying to get fitter and loose weight don't drink so much lol
Not that i could drink that much anyway.

[quadcamv6]

Me neither!

My body is absolutely NOT used to alcohol. I don't really like the whole club scene either, so I tend to find that just a few beers will do me rightly!

lol
