    Alcohol is calories just like anything else. But for those of us with low calorie goals, it's pretty difficult to fit it in. I aim for 1500 cals when I'm trying to lose, and to set aside 150-300 of those for a drink or two is not easy. So I very rarely drink anything with calories while in a deficit. Sometimes I'll use exercise calories for drinks. It's probably not the best mindset, but sometimes you need a drink dammit!

    As long as you log alcohol and are still in a deficit you will continue to lose weight. Nothing gets "stored as fat" unless you are taking in a surplus of calories overall. :drinker:

    i just finished a 48 day liver cleanse i.e.; no alcohol. My husband did it with me. I weighed myself at the end ..i weighed the exact same..and my husband gained weight.

    I am happy i took the break. .. but hated to realize i didn't lose weight like i thought i would. i don't think it matters, as long as you're eating right and exercising.
