    Alcohol is a poison and the body will try to get it out of its system before anything else. Fat burning takes second place to it.

    I enjoy a couple of glasses of red wine in the evening. It may slow down weight loss but calories are calories so as long as tou burn them off the way i see it, that's not a problem. I don't eat a lot of sweet stuff and rarely have junk food. Personally I think eating Macdonalds etc regularly is probably worse for you as its full of crap. Before I get lynched I will add that if you like it and have it as the odd treat then good for you, but I worry about the people who eat s*** like that everyday. I know that probably sounds like double standards but hopefully you get my drift.

    Like everything in life moderation is crucial :)

    I used to drink everyday. The last 5 months I started living a healthy life and training hard everyday I stopped.

    I never thought I would give up drinking, but now whenever I drink (once every two weeks maybe) it makes me feel like **** afterwards. Living healthy and feeling GREAT worths more for me now.

    I found myself drinking almost 5 nights a week but have decided with this newest weigh loss goal (had to re-motivate myself, I slipped a bit!) I will only allow myself to drink 1x per week. That seems reasonable. For me, it just got out of control and I know it is contributing to my excess weight.

    Interesting post. The way I feel is...I'm an adult, and I'm not training to be a professional body builder. I do like "a bit of plonk" and if I chose to, I make sure I log it and account for those calories. I have found though, recently, and especially since I have started doing some "self remodeling", I don't really want it like I used to. But I'm human, and I'm real, so I will still drink my Southern Comfort and whisky - can't expect me to abstain the remainder of my life.

    I do have a few drinks daily...usually tequila on the rocks or vodka and diet sprite....Its difficult though as 4 of those is about one third of my daily caloric intake (1200)

    +++im not losing fast...maybe 1-2 pounds a month+++
