Can you lose weight even if you consume alcohol?

Question

i am trying to drop a few pounds but i do have wine with dinner or go out on the weekends and drink with friends. can i still lose weight? the trainer @ the gym says no but that seems absurd.

Answer 1

Yes you can. Try to cut back on the alcohol, for example instead of drinking 2 glasses 3x a week try drinking 1 glass 2x a week. Also if you put some ice in your drinks that can help to water them down a bit so you don't get as much alcohol in your system. Also drink slow, don't gulp down a whole drink in one swallow!!

Answer 2

It is absurd..it all has to do with burning off more calories than youi consume.  If you are excercising..no problem....
