    I don't drink Sunday-Thursday, except for the occasional glass of wine. I drink pretty heavily every Friday and Saturday, though. I'm always within 200 Net calories of my weekly goal thoughI so it doesn't affect me much. :drinker:

    No more than two days a week. Sticking to vodka and low cal mix when I can, or a glass of champagne, etc. ENSURING that I include it as calories. Gym same day & day after!

    I was wondering how other people trying to lose weight incorporate alcohol in their diet. I have pretty much avoided alcohol for most of the last month and enjoyed good weight loss and feel better for it. I was shocked at how mamy calories are on a bottle of wine when I tracked it on MFP.

    I personally have a glass of wine or a beer 2-3 times a week, but I stop at ONE glass of wine or ONE beer. I save room for those calories so I know that I am not going over. I also drink lots of water to keep hydrated otherwise.

    There are days (like once a month or so) where I will have more than just one and will get drunk...but since that doesn't occur very often for me, it hasn't affected my fat loss journey at all in a measurable amount.
