    it depends on the alcohol, beer for example is full of carbs so probably will. Spirits like gin (or scotch) have no carbs and can be drunk with soda water or even slimline tonic BUT your metabolism will deal with any alcohol first so fat burn will stop until the alcohol is processed, although you remain in ketosis.
    The thing to consider is... can you stop at one or two drinks? Or will you get tiddly then crave a pizza?
    I'm lucky, I can have "a" drink and stop at that. I will admit if I go over 3 I might just go "soddit".
    Enjoy your holiday, and remember any slip ups can be rectified when you get home

    Interestingly I watched about this topic this week. Very similar to what @sytchequeen already said but talks in more detail. You may find it helpful
