    Yes. As long as you stick with your calorie goal, it should be fine. I'm sure you know this, but I feel obligated to say that overall good nutrition is also an important thing. It's calories that matter directly for weight loss, but in the long run sub-par nutrition can lower energy level (so we burn fewer calories in daily life and exercise), hinder satiation (so make it harder to stick with calorie goal), and similar counterproductive indirect factors that may affect weight management in a practical sense, as well as affecting odds of long term good health.

    I do drink some alcohol now and then, within calorie goal (and have done so through a year-ish of weight loss and 5ish years of maintenance since), and my weight has behaved as expected, but I try to make sure I'm also getting well-rounded nutrition on average over time, alongside that. Enjoyment is important, too!

    Wishing you much success!
