Quinoa is delicious and extremely easy to make. Gotta +1 to that one.
Also, beer is such watered down alcohol. By all means have some hard liquor (I don't mean candy though). But cut the beer. There's nothing that great about it!

I like beer. I like wine. I don't drink soda/pop, and I drink a lot of water... but if you're telling me I have to cut out the beer and wine, we're going to have problems.
EDIT - I lied. I'll probably have an average of a can of pop a week. But that's pretty much nil.

Uh oh, we may have problems 
The wine is OK in moderation. The point isn't to abstain from alcohol after all. But beer...eh.
I know a lot of people like it, but it has zero nutritional value and minimal alcoholic punch. At the same time, it can be easily consumed in extremely excess quantities. A raw deal in all respects. About that one can of pop a week, though:
These are two things that can be very hard to cut. But if you can get to that zen-like point where you find yourself free and unbound to the will of the ring can, the benefits are extraordinary! That's ten cubes of excess per week you can be keeping from your belly. Cast those things into the fires from whence they came.

The "will of the ring." That got a chuckle. 
I used to drink pop all the time. Lots and lots. Now... it just doesn't appeal to me. One can a week is really about right, and even then I don't always finish it.
But wine - see, that's the problem. When I drink wine, nobody drinks with me. So I kinda have to go through the whole bottle. It spoils if you don't. And if you open it at 5:30 and finish it at 10pm, that's moderation. So I try to do that just once a day, and I think that's pretty reasonable.

this is NOT true- beer does not cause you to be a gellatinous fat body. The beer drinkers lifestyle does- late night nachos,eggs, pancakes and vast amounts of nascar watching causes you to be fat. Enjoy your beer but move your lazy a$$ and suck down an apple every now.

oh, but quinoa is delish- try making a modified chicken fried rice using quinoa in the place of rice and adding lots of veggies. I also substituted it for oatmeal the other am- added agave, blue blueberries and walnuts

Beer is nothing but empty simple carbohydrates with no nutritional value, no? And it requires consumption in large amounts to feel its nice effects. You may be right about the lifestyle, but at the same time, anyone could stand to gain (from a health standpoint) by replacing it with water.
I think I enjoy wine too much to let it go (although I don't drink very often), but following on tschu's suggestion, it appears I will have to try some of that whiskey stuff instead
