Once in awhile it's no big deal, but if you're drinking regularly, it's going to hinder your weight loss. Alcohol is nothing but useless, empty calories. It's no different than Hostess cupcakes. I love cupcakes but I know if I have one every time I'm in a social situation, it's going to result in not losing weight.

My suggestion would be to learn to socialize without all the alcohol. It's not what you're eating or drinking but the company you're with. So, have a glass of Water and enjoy the company.

I have a glass (sometimes2) glasses of red wine a night and I have been losing weight at an awesome pace.

I love the fact that it fits right into my daily caloric intake and I couldn't be happier with my weightloss. I have not had to give up anything I love, and that's why I LOVE MY BAND!!!

this is great..... how many calories do you think you are having a day??..you are very lucky to have good weight loss and having red wine as well. i have dry red wine. Im a lot older... perhaps my metabolism is a lot slower than yours?

Hi there! Im sure I dont go over 1100 calories a day, wine included. I weigh and measure everything I eat, and if I decide to go for that 2nd glass, then I'll just have 1/4 cup of frozen yogurt for dessert instead of the 1/2 serving.

Besides, dont they say red wine is good for the heart? (in moderation, ofcourse!)

If you are going to drink alcohol...count the calories as other have said but don't forget to drink a glass of Water for every glass of alcohol.... As alcohol usually makes you retain water will will be reflective on the scale
