According to the article my adult protein shakes are a good way to consume alcohol, just need a little fiber. I knew I was doing something right.
Wait. Tell me more about these adult protein shakes.1 -
The other part to consider is that most people don't drink straight grain alcohol. Beers and mixed drinks have other ingredients which do have calories (some are quite calorie heavy) and certainly do count toward your daily calories. Most beers are around 3% - 8% alcohol (with some being a bit higher) and 'hard' alcohols are usually somewhere around 43% alcohol. So even if you're drinking straight vodka, whiskey, etc., you're not consuming pure alcohol. I guess you could stick to straight Everclear (98% alcohol), but it wouldn't make for a very fun night out drinking.3

My father brother and ex husband all chronic alcoholics my father died aged 54 they were all very slim as they didn't eat much nothing to do with no calories in alcohol there's lots but they drank less calories then they body burnt
But I have seen my ex and my brother eat more and become over weight
It's all to do with cico anything with calories too much will gain us weight0 -
Alcohol is a weird one. One weekend I had a night out and drank a half bottle of vodka with lemonade, 3 stella artois and 3 lagers. I weighed myself the next morning to see the affect and I had lost 5lb. As soon as I started eating again the 5lb went back on!0
