Is it possible to get rid of my tummy without giving up my daily beer and wine?

Cool!

I have a quick question - what are a couple of good exercises for your hips? Besides lowering body fat, I wanna tone up my little muffin top!

i have read conflicting opinions on when to do cardio for maximum benefit. i have read things where they suggest not to do cardio before or after lifting, because according to those experts, it sort of kills the work you just put in while lifting. and i have also read opinions where it is recommended to do cardio before lifting and some suggest doing it after lifting.

i normally try to do it 3 times a week, but on a completely different time than when i lift. hours apart.

what do you think?

Exercise a lot and drink light beer

Does light beer make as much sense as "diet" soda?

You cannot spot reduce.

As diabolik noted, you cannot spot reduce. Your diet will dictate how much fat you lose. However two great exercises for this area of your body are squats and lunges. Please make sure to have a trainer nearby if you've never done barbell squats before. They are a pretty dangerous exercise but the benefits are great once you learn to perform them correctly.
