He's best known at Lady Gaga's boyfriend, though he has another distinction as well: he lost 40 pounds while maintaining a lifestyle of consistent daily binge drinking.</p>
<p>What can we expect from <em>The Drunk Diet</em>? Well, <em>The Observer </em>may not have an advance copy yet, but we have sifted through Luc Carl's <a href="http://drunkdiet.com/">blog </a>to give you a taste of just what you can expect from his forthcoming literary debut, which we're sure will be a hit.</p>

<blockquote><p>For the better part of my twenties, I basically did drink beer all day  long. I&nbsp;smoked cigarettes all day long. Most Sundays I would wake up  with a hangover from three to seven nights in a row of partying and  dancing, crack a beer, and&nbsp;would meet up with friends for more drinking  and/or BBQing.&nbsp; (OK, I&rsquo;m not going to lie, although I&rsquo;m going in to my  thirties, Sundays don&rsquo;t look like they&rsquo;re going to change any time  soon.)</p>

<blockquote><p>I&rsquo;m completely addicted to hot sauce. It&rsquo;s one vice I&rsquo;ve kept but I&rsquo;m  slowly moving away from it.. I&rsquo;ve compiled a list of nearly every hot  sauce you&rsquo;ll find in a normal grocery store. Keep in mind that hot sauce  has little to no nutritional value, and is one of the leading causes of  gas. Spicy foods also cause ulcers, and rip apart the lining of your  stomach. But fuckin a, I gave up cigarettes and cheese for fucks sake,  can I live??</p>

<blockquote><p>I&rsquo;ve been drunk for about 12 days straight. With the exception of last Thursday when I slept all day and night.</p>
</blockquote>
<p><a href="http://thedrunkdiet.com/the-moving-finish-line/">And then let's jump ahead to February 4, 2011</a></p>
<blockquote><p>Dehydrated, dripping with sweat. I passed my moving finish line and  put my hands on top of my head to catch my breath. Then I drank 4  bottles of water and worked on my abs.</p>
<p>&nbsp;Two hours later, at noon, I cracked my first beer.</p>
</blockquote>
<p>Ladies and gentleman, Luc Carl, soon-to-be-published writer. But, hey, if this diet actually works, more power to him.</p>
