How many here have experience trying to lose weight while not cutting
out alcohol entirely? I'm counting calories and sticking to 800-1000
calories less than what I should be burning daily, but I do enjoy my
glass or two of wine in the evening. Of course, I'm including these
calories in my totals, but do alcohol calories affect you differently
than common food calories? I eat supper about 3-4 hours before
bedtime, but I sometimes have a drink close to bedtime. Would this be
a problem if my total calories are within range?

Of the four energy nutrients, alcohol is the second most fattening. Whereas
a gram of carbohydrate or protein provides four calories, a gram of alcohol
provides seven--not far from the nine calories provided by a gram of fat.
