I cut alcohol out completely - I used to drink wine on the weekends, I didn't lose any weight, in fact I gained. I then switched to Vodka because of no carbs (an the occasional Jack Daniels ) but the same thing happened, so I've been alcohol free for some time now - we have a function on February 22nd and I have decided to stick to mineral water with fruit (to look like a spritzer - some people seem to get totally indignant if one doesn't drink at these events), mainly for the weightloss, feel good, etc. and because I haven't had booze in so long, I'd be afraid of getting legless and looking like an ass.
