It also depends on your activity level and how many calories you are taking in from food and drink. I have noticed though that people due tend to lose weight when they drop those, and not cause those items cause weight gain, but ip they may easily put you in a caloric surplus since they are calorie dense. People who don't want to pay for my training or nutrition services and just want some quick easy advice, I usually tell them quit the alcohol and see what happens. I have a guy who has lost 40+ lbs once he gave up drinking0

I continue to drink tequila and I have beer every once and awhile. I fit it in so I can lose and still be happy.0

I switched from beer to shots thinking it would help me cut calories... go figure, I gained at least 10 pounds since then. I was actually the thinnest I've been in the past 5 years when I was drinking a decent amount of beer and intermittent fasting.0

Beer seems to be better than hard liquor for me. I can drink 1 large beer and feel full and call it quits.
The hard stuff I can just gulp it down with diet coke and pretzels. I lost a lot of weight by cutting alcohol to only once a week. I log it. I still drink hard liquor on occasion.0 -
Depends on how much of them you were drinking to begin with, as well as whether or not you replace them with anything, and what you replace them with.
I cut out soda years ago (simply not worth the calories to me) and dropped about 20 lbs without doing anything else. I was drinking 5-6 cans of regular soda a day and switched to water. When I got pregnant with my first child I stopped my nightly beer habit (3-4 beers per night) and gained 50 lbs - but I obviously increased how much I was eating overall. Right now I only drink wine or whiskey (beer upsets my stomach anymore and I don't find it worth the calories), but giving that up wouldn't be terribly helpful - I only have one or two drinks once or twice a month... If that. I know alcohol slows my weight loss when I do indulge, but I'm okay with a slight gain or no change on the scale that week if it means I can enjoy that small indulgence.0 -
Calories in, calories out.
Depends on how you want to spend them.
Personally, I drink very little of my calories.
I get more satisfaction from chewing them.
Whatever works. It is entirely a personal choice.
However, there is the nutrition aspect of the whole process, it is up to you.0 -

It depends on whether or not you replace the calories in those things with calories from other sources.0

Vodka and Sprite mmmmmmmm0

I usually lose about a pound after a night of moderate drinking.
It dehydrates me.0 -
Personally, those empty calories make weight loss so much harder! I consume in moderation, not actually cutting everything out. Cutting back makes room for more satisfying and filling foods on a limited calorie budget.0

A good friend of mine lost 20 lbs in about 6 months on our last deployment together. The only change was no alcohol or soda. He usually had 5 or 6 Pepsi's throughout the day and 2 or 3 beers at night. While deployed his activity level and food were pretty much the same.0
