I drank a little on induction, a lot afterwards, and have still managed to take off 35 lbs. It slows but does not stop weight loss. My favorite drink is red wine, but I drank white wine or spirits when I was doing the early, very low-carb stages of Atkins. Now I find spirits are too strong for me most of the time.

On reflection, I should say that for me it slows but does not stop the loss. YMMV.
