HI ,MFP.. I was wondering how does alcohol affect weight loss.Does it prevent your liver from flushing bad fat? And doesit cause water retetion? After a weekend out , I gain about 5lbs and it takes forever to get rid of it!

    I seriously doubt you drank 14,000 calories of alcohol in one weekend and are still here to tell us about it. It's just water.

    Alcohol affects weight loss pretty much the same way any empty calories do. If you make room for them in your diet you'll still lose. If you go over because of the calories, you won't.
