Alcohol is funny stuff, as the night-clubber once said when he found two wives waiting up for him at home. Alcohol can be the source of fights or confusion, it can provide you with plenty of calories leading to excess weight or it can be used to start a nice fire. Inside of you, alcohol equals 7 calories per gram, nearly twice the amount of protein or carbohydrates and it's the second closest to fat in calroic content.
In a class by itself, alcohol can be absorbed directly from the stomach into the blood stream without any help from the digestive system. Once in the blood it has no place to go, there are no friendly storehouses to welcome it like other foods, consequently it must be used as an energy or heat source by the body. Alcohol goes to work so fast producing energy that other foods we have eaten aren't given a chance to be used as an energy source. They aren't needed while alcohol has taken over the job of energy production. So, the food that isn't needed just transforms itself into fat in hopes that it will be appreciated at a later date.
Alcohol leads to excess weight!
Alcohol tends to make you feel hungry so you're likely to eat more when you're drinking. You'll also notice yourself feeling hungrier the next day, as alcohol burns sugar. So you may find yourself binge eating after a wild night on the town.
Iif you're trying to lose weight and you want to booze it up on the weekends with your friends, you need to do so moderately! I suggest you have only one cheat day per week where you can throw out all the rules of good eating and eat or drink whatever you've been craving for!
However, the best choice would be no alcohol at all!! :-)
