voivod Posted May 7, 2009 Share Posted May 7, 2009 Not drinking? What? Alcohol? ha! you can lose ALL the weight...just keep drinking...like i did. almost died! truth is, i lost 100 pounds by stopping drinking altogether. Link to comment
Alezia Posted May 7, 2009 Share Posted May 7, 2009 1lb for every 23 beers/glass of wine you don't drink. Not worth it in my opinion, I'd rather cut back on something else. Link to comment

dragon lady Posted May 7, 2009 Share Posted May 7, 2009 I actually used to lose weight when I was drinking. I'd always feel too sick to eat for up to 48 hours after a night out. Then I'd slowly build up to food again. Link to comment
yellowcal Posted May 7, 2009 Share Posted May 7, 2009 Drinking has never caused me to gain weight.. hmm.. Link to comment
g84 Posted May 7, 2009 Share Posted May 7, 2009 I'm not completely sure..but i would think that you could lose quite a bit of weight by eliminating alcohols and also any drinks with lots of sugar added (soda). Link to comment
rocio Posted May 7, 2009 Share Posted May 7, 2009 How many drinks, and what kind? If you have 3 beers, 5 times a week, that's about 3000 calories, which is almost one pound. If you have one glass of white wine, 3 times a week, that's about 300 calories, or 1 pound in 2.5 months. Basically 3500 calories in a pound. A light beer is 100 and a regular beer is more like 150. White wine is around 80 to 120 calories, red wine is slightly more. The lowest calorie drinks are mixes - spirits like vodka or rum, mixed with soda water and lemon. Link to comment
JeckyllNHyde Posted May 7, 2009 Share Posted May 7, 2009 it depends. if you're drinking cocktail drinks they usually have more carbs and sugar. that's what causes the weight gain. if you can just drink one or 2? and cut down on the junk or unhealthy food instead. Link to comment
Alezia Posted May 7, 2009 Share Posted May 7, 2009 I like social drinking. If I was looking to lose weight, I'd rather skip eating an extra piece of greasy pizza ( I eat a lot of that.... :S) a week and keep drinking my wine/beer. Link to comment
catfeeder Posted May 7, 2009 Share Posted May 7, 2009 I can't drop weight when I drink beer or wine; it's not about the calories, exactly, it's because they're serious carbs and sugars. They bloat me and mess with my metabolism. As soon as I skip them, I drop all water weight, and then the fat falls off. If I find myself at a party or event when I'm dieting, I alternate vodka-seltzer and plain seltzer. Watch out for club, it's got sodium. Link to comment
Alezia Posted May 7, 2009 Share Posted May 7, 2009 It only has 1% sodium... i wouldn't consider it that bad. I love that stuff *blush*. My soya sauce on my sushi on the other hand.... I might not be as carb sensitive as you guys.. I dunno Link to comment
ghost69 Posted May 7, 2009 Share Posted May 7, 2009 i drink once/sometimes twice a week. all beer. and tons of it. i'm still pretty ripped and not gaining any weight. one day isn't going to do much if you have a good workout routine the rest of the week. Link to comment
Alezia Posted May 7, 2009 Share Posted May 7, 2009 i drink once/sometimes twice a week. all beer. and tons of it. i'm still pretty ripped and not gaining any weight. one day isn't going to do much if you have a good workout routine the rest of the week. Yeah I'm pretty much with that advice. I guess it varies with every person but it really doesn't affect me personally. If you were a chronic alcoholic drinking 5 beers every day, that'd be another story. Link to comment
ghost69 Posted May 7, 2009 Share Posted May 7, 2009 i drink around 20-30 beers on a weekend day when i go out and party. that's gotta be 10,000 of calories. only so much is going to stick to your body at one time. you will urinate most out. but like mousty said, if it's a chronic habit, you will gain.

lavenderdove Posted May 7, 2009 Share Posted May 7, 2009 20-30 beers in a single day? Ghost, you should be worried about your liver... that's a ton too much to process in a single day... blood alcohol content way too high. Link to comment
Alezia Posted May 8, 2009 Share Posted May 8, 2009 Oh man.. 30 beers? I don't even think I'd want to stomach that and I can handle some pretty bad things. Link to comment
