Some type of mixed workouts including simple things like ab exercises (simple situps etc) with smaller consumption and a better choice of beers or alcohol should help - also - your body needs lots of water - even more when youre drinking - so increase the intake of water as well and make sure you take a good set of vitamins.
You didnt mention it but make sure if you are trying to lose weight to eat lots of small meals - none of the sit till Im stuffed full type meals and definitely none of those "lose weight" pills
