Hi Rob

Whilst I drink very little alcohol there are a number of UK participants who really like the odd, or not so odd, glass of wine. Beside the alcohol wine has around 3 or so carbs per average glass, so remember to count these. Alcohol is always burnt off before other enegy sources, so it has an impact on calorie levels.

Pop into Lastchance's journal. I am sure that a month or so ago she was having discussions about wine drinking and came to the conclusion that she was drinking too much and thus it was stopping her loosing weight. It seems likely that one or two glasses once a week are OK, but too much more is likely to really slow your progress.
