Wine in moderation is fine on Atkins. Just be aware of certain things, although as low alcohol as wine is if you just have a glass these won't come into play as much. If you have more then a few glasses or harder liquer they are good to remember.

1. Your body will turn the alcohol into keotens and burn them first. Anything eaten will besotred for later. Worse the fat can be stored in your live (or is it around?)

2. Inhabitions are lowered if you drink and it may be harder not to snack or cheat

3. Alcohol dehydrates you. Be sure to drink plenty of water.

4. Your tolerences may be lower. Alcohol can effect you more, and if you don't drink enough water the morning after can be worse.

If you don't over consume on a regular bases then there is nothing wrong with a glass of wine here and there. Make sure to get the dry wines are they are lower carbs. Red wines also have other health benifits as well. Have a glass of water with your wine to help aovid dehydration.

Like most things in Atkins and life, moderation is the key.
