I'm celebrating my friend's birthday today and I know I'll be drinking, therefore I got a question about alcohol: do you count it into your macros or don't?

    I don't drink often, and when I do it's usually part of a free day/meal. But when I do need to track, I take the popular approach to count them towards fat or carb goals. Since I have 400g or more to play with for carbs, I usually just count them as carbs and divide the total calories by 4, then add the appropriate carb grams to my diary. If I have room in fats, I'll divide by 9 and add the appropriate fat grams.
