The way I see it is this is a WOl not a test. Instead of thinking it in the form of cheating, think in terms of good food choices, ok food choices, poor food choices and bad.

The huge amounts of nuts probably wasn't the best food choice, but there are worse. The alcohol though was probably a very poor choice, not only in terms of carbs and calories, but the body burns alcohol before fat, so anything eaten is stored. Not to mention effecting good food judgement.
