    If it's wrong we're wrong together :p

    I call vodka calories okay calories, especially if they include a bit of citrus.

    It actually does sound like a great way to get your extra calories.


    And, if you do your workout BEFORE your drinks, and meet all your food goals, why not?

    As long as it's in moderation, I don't see the harm. You're getting in shape, not joining a convent. Go for it!

    i do it all the time, and i've managed to lose and maintain a 40 pound loss.

    if you're going to drink after losing the weight, why not drink during the loss. you know, make sure your body doesn't forget it.

    Having a drink once and awhile isn't bad. Lets face it, whether it's a drink of alcohol, your favorite chocolate cake, a soda or whatever, you have to spoil yourself.


    Here is a good read. To summarize, alcohol, especially vodka, drops your metabolism. And not just a little. Beer is bad for the obvious carbs!

    I drink on occasion ( I love my Johnny Walker Scotch and tonic) but it all depends how fast you want to see the results and what is more important on a serious side. The biggest problem is, a lot of people go out drinking al night friday and saturday and that is when it holds you back. Heck, if you have two drinks a night, it will slow you down. If you only have two drinks a week... ehhh.. not so much... and I say party it up!
