        I am, yes. What are you suggesting he’d be losing instead? Water weight? If it’s that, you can lose that without ceasing drinking beer at all. It seemed to me that the implication was the fella could lose 10 pounds that would stay off by stopping alcohol consumption, which water weight would not.

        Is there something else l am missing?

      What’s even more shocking to me is, that he “stops drinking beer for three days” as if that wouldn’t be normal. How regularly do you have to drink beer to stop for three days.

      If I have a few drinks every other weekend I wouldn’t say “I stopped drinking for 2 weeks”, as if that would be something unusual. So unless you are drinking at least bidaily it just doesn’t make sense to state that you stop for three days.
