I'm over 30 and I feel like it takes 10 times as much to burn a calorie than it did when I was 16. I'm so fat! Give me a Guiness and a juicy steak any day….

This can be burned off at 7.0kph walking pace (about 4.4mph) on a treadmill, by setting the unit to maximum level (typically 20) and steep(ish) hills (or the 'random' setting), in about 70-90 minutes, depending on your bodyweight. Yes, it's a bit of effort, but going out once in a while with friends and making a night of it is rewarding in and of itself. If you do it on a daily basis, then sure, you should expect to pay the price. As a one-off (or rarely), it's absolutely fine. You could even split the workout over a few days or just cut back on your calorie intake for 72 hours. It's a much better life if we can enjoy the odd brownie, as opposed to none at all. Excess on either side is a bad thing. People, oddly, tend to reject the 'middle ground' as being the safer, or boring path, but more often than not it's the right one for most people. Everything in moderation, and all that. Six pints of beer – as per your picture – of 4-5 per cent lager/ale is about 1200 calories.
