    Remember that the instant alcohol hits your system your body stops metabolizing anything else in an effort to get the poison out of your system. Which means everything else gets stored because the liver simply doesn't have time.

    So if you have a good deficit for the day already that'll help quite a bit.

    Any science to back this up? This is a new one, to me anywho. Counterpoint: this

    Here's the study. Metabolism had dropped by 73%. What's more- it affected absorption of vitamins and minerals. There is a very small study group, so obviously more studies need to be done.

    I usually stick with vodka with diet soda as a mixer.

    you can drink whatever you want,,just go work it off.



    well thats idiotic.. you cant out exercise a bad diet!
    even if youre sticking to for instance vodka and coke, youre still filling your body with toxins, and just holting your own progress.. if you really want to see results, you will cut it out.. if not, dont expect the results you want.
    harsh but true!

    Um, not really true.

    relevant article

    If it works for you and doesn't, uh, 'holt' your progress, great.
