Ive never gained from drinking which ive only done a handful of times since I started on the diet. Pretty much im staying in the induction phase minus a few cheatings. However I do notice a stall for approx a day or so after I have drank some alcohol.

Something to note. If you drink, try to drink the harder liquor. No carbs even though its made out of sugar (beats me how its possible.) My personal favorite is Bacardi and DIET coke. Of course in a night the bartender usually throws in regular coke at least once by mistake.

All in all if you must drink carb drinks just remember to take it easy so you wont be discouraged the next few days weighing in...
