Hello, will drinking beer stretch my sleeve?

[Gail Ann 8]

I've been enjoying a few cold beers during this hot almost summer. Does beer count like soda or a carbonated drink? I know they both stretch the sleeve.

Also, how much will my sleeve stretch??

Carbonation doesn't stretch your sleeve. It might make you feel bloated, gassy and uncomfortable but it doesn't stretch your sleeve.

Beer has a lot of carbs and empty calories so it is certainly not a wise choice, but it's a choice that you are free to make. I drink a beer or two every week and simply log in the calories. I'e been maintaining for over a year so I know it's OK for ME to do it. Only YOU can determine what's ok for YOU.
