Alcohol?

So I do love my wine on the weekend and am wanting a glass tonight because it just sounds so good. The thing that I'm afraid of is gaining fat on my stomach from it. Maybe I have an irrational fear, I'm not sure but I just wanted to see what others thought.

    Fine in moderation. As is tobacco and any other drug, food, or anything else you enjoy. Willpower. Personal responsibility. The habit of not getting sucked into anything habit forming. Heroin and meth are fine too. For those who understand moderation.

    Seriously though, wine won't make you gain belly fat. Nothing will unless it really screws up your hormones somehow. Just count the calories in MFP.

    Enjoy your wine, I say! One glass with dinner can be very nice and that amount of alcohol is healthy.

    Thank you! I've been super worried about this for a while so this helps ease my mind!

    Great viewpoint! Maybe I'll have it after all!
