Do you Drink?

Yes on weekend I usually have a drink or two I usually drink vodka and water to keep the calorie count down and I really am not much of a soda drinker.
HOWEVER, I just read an article the other day, and forgive me I am not going to state this with 100% accuracy, but it said that vodka actually slows down your metabolism. Even if you are only drinking one or two shots, the calorie intake may not be high but the fact that it slows down your metabolism so much is what makes it lethal!! The article suggested red wine as a substitution and said that people who have one or two glasses of red wine were much more likely to lose weight than those who drank vodka, and I actually believe it said than those who drank no alcohol at all
So drink away my friends!!!

Ocassional glass of red wine or sweet desert wine (moscato or a riesling) and of course my Jamesons or McCallan 15 on the rocks. I'll log them in!

I quit. I have always enjoyed wine, but when I learned how many empty calories it has, I stopped (recently). I tried logging it, but my weight loss was going too slowly. So I gave it up. I will have it socially, when I go out with friends, and on New Years Eve, but I don't keep any in my house. Too easy to just pour a glass after dinner.

Have you noticed a difference in your weight loss since you gave it up?

I definitely drink, but I try to watch it. If I'm feeling so-so that night, or know a night out will be lame, I go out sober. If a night is gonna be awesome, I'll drink. Usually that is 1-in-4 nights lol.

I drink on the weekends, and quite a bit sometimes. Not really good for my body, haha.
I rarely drink on the weekdays at all.

Yes, and it is always reflected in my food diary. For the most part, I stay wtih wine -- which tends to be a seasonal choice -- white in warm months and red in the cold months. I do think it has an impact on weight loss and is metabolized differently. I am going to give up my nightly glass of wine or two for the first 2 weeks in January and see how it impacts me and my weight loss.

I've never even tasted alcohol so no I don't drink

Hi my name is Magnus, and I am a alcoholic

I drink on weekends if i go out. But i never drink a beer or w.e throught the week...only if i go out and am in a social environment.

I drink every now and then, mostly in social situations. If I'm out, it's a Patron Strawberry Margarita. If I'm relaxing at home, it's either Pinnacle Whipped Vodka on ice, or a cold glass of Moscato wine. Yum! : )

I have about 4 drinks a week. In the past it was dark beer, but now a scotch on the rocks, or rum and (diet) coke is my preferred drink..

I've had about 24 beer total the last 10 years. And no liquor in the last 3 or 4 years.

I don't drink the first 8 weeks of the year in support of my dad's sobriety. My birthday is always the end of it. I'm back to drinking, but it's usually beer, or a hard alcohol either straight up or mixed with a SF soda.

Nah. Never had a taste for it.

I went to a friend's wedding last summer (oh boy, people I haven't seen since high school) and decided it would be in my best interest to partake in a few spirits. 2-3 'Coke and whatevers' later and I was BLITZED.

My dream when I get older is to come home, throw my blazer on the sofa, and pour myself some expensive Scotch.

Yes I drink plenty.
