    Instead of drinking two glasses every night, I would cut back and only drink 1 glass 3 nights a week.
  • I agree, it seems to be that way for me also

    It has always affected my weight loss, even if it is within my calorie allowance. My personal view is that it affects the liver somewhat as it has too work so hard on getting rid of the alcohol, that it cannot at the same time metabolise the fat (or something like that). don't know if that's right or not..

    This is correct.

    I love wine.
    I can't say that I drink it every night (though given the chance I probably would), but I'd say that there were times where I was having a bottle of red at the weekend and I still managed to keep up my weight loss. I think that as long as everything else is on track you shouldnt have to worry.
    I don't really think that there's such a thing as good and bad calories although I don't like to have too many of my calories from fat.
    If I'm 100% honest, I won't always count the calories from my wine but I've usually some extra calories from the rest of the week left.
