HOW can you do 8 beers a night, and be under the Atkins limit? I don't think you can. Check the carb level of the beer. You are over the limit alone on that.
If you are going to drink beer (NO diet really says to do), then have ZERO fats and you better work out a LOT. Even then, your progress will likely be nil. Sorry to say, NO diet is going to let you have 8 beers a night.
By the way, the point of Atkins or any low carb diet isn't to get more fats, it is to cut carbs.

Here are a few rules I used (my own creation), to low carb dieting that worked (I dropped about 4 lbs a week):
- If it is white, it is not right (don't eat any foods that are white. This rules out processed sugars, white flour, and milk which contains sugars). Egg whites are an exception, as is califlower.
- If it is sweet, don't eat. This means no fruits (except tomatoes), and no sugars. This also means no fruit juices.
- Don't eat anything you can put in a cake (eggs are an exception). This ends up eliminating things such as carrots.
- Get a minimum of a 45 minute a day walk (1 hour preferred). Do this every day.
- Drink plenty of water.
- Don't make your last meal of the day the largest.
- Don't eat a few hours before bed. You want to sleep on an empty stomach if you can.
