When we are younger we have faster metabolism, like when I was in college my problem was gaining weight. So I eat different foods, and if I like the food. I do ate lot's never mind the calorie or carbohydrates intake. Now that I am in my 40's, my problem is when I ate many, I would easily gain weight. Like even if I really like the food but I refrained myself to eat more. Talking about beer, beer is really yummy and tempting specially when it is cold beer. YUMMY! but it would really be a good source of gaining weigh like soft drinks. Enjoy eating and drinking just to it responsibly.
